To get the greatest possible quotient, you need the biggest possible
dividend and the smallest possible divisor.
96,432 divided by 225 = 428.5666... <== greatest possible
23,469 divided by 522 = 44.9597... <== smallest possible
Answer:
The perimeter is the length of the outline of a shape. To find the perimeter of a rectangle or square you have to add the lengths of all the four sides. x is in this case the length of the rectangle while y is the width of the rectangle. The perimeter, P, is: P=x+x+y+y.
Given that the triangle is a right angled triangle, to solve for x we shall use the Pythagorean theorem given by:
c^2=a^2+b^2
where:
c is the hypotenuse
a and b are the legs.
c=10
a=6
b=(x-6)
thus plugging the values in the equation and solving for x we get:
10^2=6^2+(x-6)^2
100=36+x^2-12x+36
100=x^2-12x+72
0=x^2-12x-28
factoring the above we get:
0=(x+2)(x-14)
hence
x=-2 or x=14
given that there is no negative distance then
x=14
thus the value of x is 14
<span>RS= 8y + 4, ST = 4y + 8, and RT = 36
RS + ST = RT
</span>8y + 4 + 4y + 8 = 36
12y + 12 = 36
12y = 24
y = 2
answer
y = 2 (first choice)
Answer:
X = 51
Y = 12
Step-by-step explanation:
2 numbers: (Larger) Number 1 is x and Number 2 is y
The equation is x + y = 63
New equation is:
Combine like variables:
Solve:
- 4y + 15 - 15 = 63 - 15
- 4y = 48
Divide 4 from each side:
To find x fill in the variables from the 'x =' equation:
- x = 3y + 15
- x = 3( 12) + 15
- <em><u>x = 51</u></em>
