7 0

We will say the smaller number is X and the larger number is Y
The first sentence states y=x+3 and the second sentence states 4y=6x-13
You can use substitution in this to plug in y=x+3 into 4y=6x-13 to get
4(x+3)=6x-13 now move -13 to the other side to get 4x+16=6x then move 4x to the other side to get 16=2x giving you X
X=8
Now plug in X into the equation y=x+3
y=(8)+3 giving you Y
Y=11
Now plug in both X and Y to check
4(11)=6(8)-13
44=35

2b^2x^2+3a^2y^2=a^2b^2 for b^2

Artemon [7]

Answer:

${b}^{2} = \frac{3 {a}^{2} {y}^{2} }{ {a}^{2} - 2 {x}^{2} }$

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to solve for b² in

$2 {b}^{2} {x}^{2} + 3 {a}^{2} {y}^{2} = {a}^{2} {b}^{2}$

Combine terms containing b²

$3 {a}^{2} {y}^{2} = {a}^{2} {b}^{2} - 2 {b}^{2} {x}^{2}$

Factor b² to get:

$3 {a}^{2} {y}^{2} = ({a}^{2} - 2 {x}^{2}) {b}^{2}$

Divide by a² -2b²

${b}^{2} = \frac{3 {a}^{2} {y}^{2} }{ {a}^{2} - 2 {x}^{2} }$

X=55, since straight lines are 180°. Y=70, since the triangle is isosceles, and the 2 bottom Angles are equal. Z=125, since the 2 opposite angles(x and y) add up to 125°
