Call the numbers x and y. According to the first sentence, x + y = 67. According to the second sentence, x = y + 5. You can combine these two equations to find the values of these variables:

x + y = 67
(y + 5) + y= 67
2y = 62
y = 31

You can use this to find x by plugging in y to either original equation:

x = y + 5
x = 31 + 5
x = 36

inessss [21]
Let the speed for the first 12 mi be x mi/h, the speed for 18 mi was (x+4) mi/h
thus given that
time=distance/speed 
the average time will be:
3=(12+18)/(x+x+4)
3=30/(2x+4)
solving for x we get
3(2x+4)=30
6x+6=30
6x=24
x=4 mi/hr
Answer: 12 mi/hr

Please help me solve this question
Anastasy [175]

Answer:

50

Step-by-step explanation:

Use pythagoreom theorem to determine the length of the hypotenuse:

a² + b² = c²

- assign side a to 30 and side b to 40

30² + 40² = c²

90 + 160 = c²

250 = c²

Now square root both sides to isolate side c:

√250 = √c²

50 = c

side c = 50
