Answer:

The numbers are 6 and 14

Step-by-step explanation:

Say the unknown numbers are x and y

Say y = 8+x ................... eqn 1

and x + y = 20 ................ eqn 2

Then if you replace y by 8+x, eqn 1 becomes

x + 8 + x = 20

Collect the like terms

x + x = 20 - 8

2x = 12

Divide both sides by 2

x = 12/6

x = 6

Then to get y, substitute 6 for x in eqn 1, and we will have

y = 8 + 6

y = 14

Answer:

First number=6

Second number=14

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the first number be x

So the second number is x+8

So the sum of the two is

X+x+8=20

2x+8=20

2x=20-8

2x=12

X=12/2

=6

The second number will x+8

So 6+8=14

First number=6

Second number=14

Consider equation of circle x2-2x+y2-4y-4=0,if line 2x-y+a=0 is its diameter then find value of a
g100num [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

x² - 2x + y² - 4y - 4 = 0

x² - 2x + y² - 4y = 4

complete the squares

(x² - 2x + x₀) + (y² - 4y + y₀) = 4

the unknown number will be the square of half of the x¹ coefficient

(x² - 2x + 1) + (y² - 4y + 4) = 4 + 1 + 4

(x - 1)² + (y - 2)² = 9

This tells us that the circle is centered on (1, 2)

Which is also a point on the diameter

2x - y + a = 0

a = y - 2x

a = 2 - 2(1)

a = 0

The product of two even numbers is always divisible by 4 true or false
never [62]

Answer: TRUE

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

an even number is divisible by 2.  

Consider even number j which equals 2a and even number k which equals 2b.  Then the product of these two numbers (j and k) = 2a*2b = 4ab.

4ab is divisible by 4.

BONUS:

The product of three even numbers is divisible by 2³

The product of four even numbers is divisible by 2⁴

ElenaW [278]

Answer:

1) The lateral area is LA=95 cm²

2) The surface area is SA=275  cm²

The answer is the option D) 95 cm² ; 275 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The surface area of the box (rectangular prism) is equal to

SA=2B+LA

where

B is the area of the base

LA is the lateral area of the box

<em>Find the lateral area</em>

LA=PH

where

P is the perimeter of the base

H is the height of the box

substitute

LA=2[15+6](2.26)=94.92 cm²

Round to the nearest whole number

LA=95 cm²

<em>Find the area of the base B</em>

B=(15)(6)=90 cm²

Find the surface area of the box

SA=2B+LA

substitute the values

SA=2(90)+95=275  cm²
