Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

x = smaller number, y = bigger number

7x + 2y = 635

7y - 2x = 871....rearrange...-2x + 7y = 871

7x + 2y = 635....multiply by 2

-2x + 7y = 871...multiply by 7

----------------------------------

14x + 4y = 1270 (result of multiplying by 2)

-14x + 49y = 6097 (result of multiplying by 7)

--------------------------------add

53y = 7367

y = 7367/53

y = 139

7x + 2y = 635

7x + 2(139) = 635

7x + 278 = 635

7x = 635 - 278

7x = 357

x = 357/7

x = 51

solution : x = 51 and y = 139 or (51,139)

What is the measure of Angle B
patriot [66]

Answer:

119

Step-by-step explanation:

Angle C= 62

So you add 62 + 57 which gives you 119

All angles must add up to 180 so you subtract 119 from 180 which gives you 61

Since angle A is 61 and a straight line angle is 180 you subtract 61 from 180 to give you angle B

180 - 61 = 119

therefore your answer is 119

find three consecutive even integers so that the twice the sum of the second and third is twelve less than six times the first
zysi [14]

n, n + 2, n + 4 - three consecutive even integers

the twice the sum of the second and third: 2[(n + 2) + (n + 4)]

twelve less than six times the first: 6n - 12

The equation:

2[(n + 2) + (n + 4)] = 6n - 12

2(n + 2 + n + 4) = 6n - 12

2(2n + 6) = 6n - 12       <em>use distributive property</em>

(2)(2n) + (2)(6) = 6n - 12

4n + 12 = 6n - 12       <em>subtract 12 from both sides</em>

4n = 6n - 24       <em>subtract 6n from both sides</em>

-2n = -24        <em>divide both sides by (-2)</em>

n = 12

n + 2 = 12 + 2 = 14

n + 4 = 12 + 4 = 16

<h3>Answer: 12, 14, 16</h3>
