Step-by-step explanation:
In a right triangle the altitude drawn to the hypotenuse is the geometric mean of the segments at which this altitude divides the hypotenuse.
So,
a. The area of the triangle ABC is
b. The legs of the right triangle are geometric means of the segment adjacent to this leg and the hypotenuse, so
About 7,460 punds if you add everything together
X+y=70
x=2y-5
x=larger number
y=smaller number
now plug in the value of x to only have one variable in the equation...
Way to solve for y:
(2y-5)+y=70
3y-5=70
add 5 on both sides...
3y=75
divide by 3 on both sides
y=25
1st way to solve for x:
now plug in y in the original equation...
x+25=70
subtract 25 on both sides...
x=45
2nd way to solve for x:
plug in y for the second equation...
x=25(2)-5
x=50-5
x=45
answer: the two numbers are 45 and 25.
(-1,-9) because if we substituted 1 into x y would be 9 and if we substituted 1/2 into x y would be 3 but if we substituted -1 into x y would be 1/9 so therefore that value is incorrect
