So. let's say the numbers are "a" and "b"

whatever they're, we know a + b = 56

let's say the larger one is "b", so 3 times the smaller is 3*a or 3a
now, 12 less than that, is 3a - 12

and the larger is that, so b = 3a - 12

so   \bf \begin{cases}
a+b=56\\
\boxed{b}=3a-12\\
----------\\
a+\boxed{3a-12}=56
\end{cases}

solve for "a", to see what the smaller one is

what's b? well, b = 56 - a

One-Half the difference of a number and 15
slega [8]

Answer:

x - 15 ÷ 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Since it wants you to find the half of your answer after you find the difference, be sure to leave the two at the end of your equation. With that said, let's move into finding out what "the difference of a number and fifteen is". Whenever they tell you 'a number', it means they want you to put a variable, such as x, since you do not know the number and it could be any number. Now, the "difference" of something usually means...you guessed it, subtraction! Now that you've decoded your equation, you now know it means that x - 15 is the first part, and you can now put the one half right after it.

If this is confusing, I can explain further. :D

can someone help me understand this, please? For some reason my answer is correct but I need to understand how did I found the c
Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer with step-by-step explanation:

The way the question is worded, this actually shouldn't be correct. The correct answer should be 3:4.

Because the trapezoids are similar, we can find the ratio of their perimeters by actually just finding the ratio of their sides.

Why?

By definition, the corresponding sides of a polygon are in a constant proportion. The perimeter is simply the sum of all sides of the polygon. Since we're just adding the sides, the proportion will still be maintained.

Therefore, we'll just need to ratio of their corresponding sides. The only two corresponding sides that are marked are \overline{RS} and \overline{AB}.

The ratio of \overline{RS}:\overline{AB} is 18:24\implies \boxed{3:4}.

The reason why it ideally should be 3:4 and not 4:3 is because the question states RTSU\sim ABCD, which mentions RSTU first, so our answer should follow this respective order. I believe you were marked right anyways because the specific order is not specified, but generally, you want to give your answer respectively by default.

What is the slope of y = -3x + 3?
AnnZ [28]
<span>Use the slope intercept form y=<span><span>mx</span>+b, </span></span><span>where </span><span>m</span><span> is the slope and </span><span>b</span><span> is the y-intercept. So with saying that plug your problem in so y = -3x+3 so your answer would be m=-3 which is the slope.

~Hope this Helps! Good Luck!~
