The difference between two integers is at most 16. the smaller integer is 12. what is the larger integer

1 answer:

3 0

The difference between two integers is at most 16
x1 - big integer
x2- small integer
$x_1 -x_2 \leq 16$

the smaller integer is 12
so
x2 = 12

substitution

 $x_1 -12 \leq 16$

solve for x1

however, note the fact larger
thus meaning
x1 > x2 applies to this problem

A plane is approaching an aircraft carrier at 25° angle of elevation from 3.2 miles away how far above sea level is the plane

s2008m [1.1K]

Answer:

$Height\approx 1.35\ miles$

Step-by-step explanation:

The angle of elevation $=25\textdegree$

It is $3.2\ miles$ away from the point.

If we imagine a right triangle having an angle $25\textdegree$ .

Hypotenuse $=3.2$ , Opposite=Height from sea level $(h)$

$\sin 25=\frac{opposite}{hypotenuse}\\\\\sin 25=\frac{h}{3.2}\\\\h=3.2\times \sin 25\\\\h=3.2\times 0.4226\\\\h=1.3524\approx 1.35\ miles$

Add and SImplify (x+2)/(x) + (x-3)/(x+2)

Jlenok [28]

(x+2)/(x) + (x-3)/(x+2)

Common denominator x(x+2)

Reduce both to common denominator:
x+2)/[x(x+2)] + (x-3)/[x(x+2)] ===> [(x+2)² + (x-3)] / [x(x+2)]
= [x²+4x+4+x-3] / [x(x+2)]
=[x²+54x+1] / [x(x+2)]

Roberto is x years older than his only sister but 10 years ago he was twice her age. What are the current ages of the siblings?

adell [148]

Answer:

S = x + 10

R = 2x + 10

Step-by-step explanation:

If R is Roberto's age, and S is his sister's age, then:

R = S + x

R − 10 = 2 (S − 10)

Solve with substitution.

S + x − 10 = 2 (S − 10)

S + x − 10 = 2S − 20

S = x + 10

R = 2x + 10
