Answer:

The numbers are 165 and 113

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> one number

y ----> the other number

we know that

x+y=278 ----> equation A

x=y+52 ----> equation B

substitute equation B in equation A

(y+52)+y=278

solve for y

2y=278-52

2y=226

y=113

<em>Find the value of x</em>

x=y+52

x=113+52=165

therefore

The numbers are 165 and 113

9. ax + by = (a - b), bx - ay = (a + b)​
mart [117]

Answer: give me brainliest

Step-by-step explanation:

ax+by=a-b

ax=a-b-by

x=a-b-by/a←

bx-ay=a+b

substituting

b(a-b-by/a)-ay=a+b

ab-b²-b²y/a-ay=a+b

ab-b²-b²y-a²y/a=a+b

ab-b²-(b²+a²)y=a²+ab

-(b²+a²)y=a²+ab-ab+b²

(b²+a²)y=-(a²+b²)

y=-(a²+b²)/a²+b²

y=-1←

substituting value of y

x=a-b-b(-1)/a

x=a-b+b/a

x=a/a

x=1

An acute triangle had two sides measuring 8cm and 10 cm what is the best representation of the possible range of values for tge
katrin2010 [14]
The third side must be >2 and < 18

To test if a triangle is acute, right or obtuse:
1) Square all 3 sides
2) Sum the squares of the 2 shortest sides
3) Compare this sum to side 3 squared
if sum > side 3 squared it is an acute triangle
if sum = side 3 squared it is a right triangle
if sum < side 3 squared it is an obtuse triangle

The shortest side 2 can be is "less than 2" so we'll say it is 2.00000001
three sides squared =
<span> <span> <span> 4.00000004 </span> </span> </span>
64
100
Summing the 2 shortest sides 4.00000004 + 64 = <span>68.00000004
</span><span>68.00000004 is less than 100 so it is an obtuse triangle no matter how long the third side is.
