Let's say the smaller number is x, and the bigger number is x + 16. the sum of them would be x + x + 16 = 38. subtract 16 from both sides and combine like terms to get 2x = 22. divide both sides to get x = 11. the smaller number (x) is 11, and the bigger number (x+16) is 27.

What is the slope of the line?
Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer:

1

Step-by-step explanation:

slope (k) is the rise over run of the line

a way of finding the slope if you have two dots of the line is:

k \:  =  \frac{y2 - y2}{x2 - x2}

here the dots that belong to the line that you can most easily see are:

A(-6,0)

B(0,6)

by inserting the values into the euquation you get:

\frac{6 - 0}{0 - ( - 6)}  =  \frac{6}{6}  = 1

good luck with your maths solving

Please help me <br> can u explain how to do this
Ghella [55]

Answer:

x=41

Step-by-step explanation:

so since this is a right triangle you can use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the missing side. the two sides you know are 'a' and 'b' and the missing side is 'c'. the theorem says that:

a^2+b^2=c^2

so:

9^2 +40^2=c^2

solve for the exponents:

81 +1600=c^2

1681=c^2

and now, since 1681 is the missing side's length squared, we must find the square root of 1681, which is 41

hope this helps :)
