One number is one-fifth of another number. The two numbers total 18. Find the numbers

Mathematics
1 answer:
Masja [62]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

One number is 17 and the other is 85.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the numbers be m and n.  Let m = (1/5)n.  Note that m+n = 18.

Substituting (1/5)n for m in the 2nd equation, we get (1/5)n + (5/5)n = 18.  Multiplying all three terms by 5 to remove fractions, we get n + 5 = 90, so that n = 85.  m is (1/5) of 85, or m = 17.

11. Mis the midpoint of QR. Q is at (-8, 2) and M is at (4, -3). Find the coordinates of the endpoint R.​
tamaranim1 [39]

Answer:

R(16,-8)

Step-by-step explanation:

if (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) are coordinates of two points and (x,y) the coordinate of midpoint.

then x=(x1+x2)/2

and y=(y1+y2)/2

let coordinates of R are (x,y)

4=(-8+x)/2

8=-8+x

x=8+8=16

-3=(2+y)/2

-6=2+y

y=-6-2=-8

so R is (16,-8)
