Answer:

The aprox, numbers:

4.1633 and 8.3266

Step-by-step explanation:

a = 2b

a² - b² = 52

then:

(2b)² - b² = 52

4b² - b² = 52

3b² = 52

b² = 52/3

b² = 17.333

√b² = √17.333

b = 4.1633 aprox.

a = 2b

a = 2*4.1633

a = 8.3266

Check:

8.3266² - 4.1633² = 52

69.333 - 17.333 = 52

Write an equation of the line that passes through (-1,2) with a slope of 4

Iteru [2.4K]

Step-by-step explanation:

Hey there!

Given;

The points is; (-1 , 2) and slope is 4.

Note: Use one-point formula.

$(y - y1) = m(x - x1)$

~ Put all values.

$(y - 2) = 4(x + 1)$

~ Simplify it.

$(y - 2) = 4x + 4$

$4x - y + 6 = 0$

Therefore, the required equation is; 4x-y+6=0.

OverLord2011 [107]

X = quarters
y = dimes

0.25x + 0.10y = 6.95 or 25x + 10y = 695
x + y = 44

25x + 10y = 695
25 (x + y = 44)

25x + 10y = 695

25x + 25y = 1,100

-15y = -405
y = 27 dimes
