One number is five more than another, and their sum is three less than three times the smaller. Find the numbers.

Mathematics
1 answer:
Lunna [17]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

<u>The smaller number is 8 and the bigger number is 13</u>

<u>The correct equation form is B. 2x + 5 = 3x - 3</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Smaller number = x

Bigger number = x + 5

Sum of the numbers = x + x + 5 = 3 - 3x

Let's solve the equation for the sum:

x + x + 5 = 3x - 3

2x + 5 = 3x - 3

2x - 3x = - 3 - 5 (Subtracting 5 at both sides)

-x = - 8

x = 8 (Multiplying by - 1 at both sides)

<u>The smaller number is 8 and the bigger number is 13</u>

<u>The correct answer is B. 2x + 5 = 3x - 3</u>

You know the measure of the exterior angle which forms a linear pair with the vertex angle. Describe two ways you can find measu
aev [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A linear pair are two given angles whose sum is equal to 180^{o}.

Let the exterior angle be represented by x^{o}, and the three interior angles of the triangle be represented by a^{o}, b^{o} and c^{o}.

Assume that the vertex angle c^{o} is the linear pair to the exterior angle x^{o}.

i.e            x^{o} + c^{o} = 180^{o}  (sum of angles on a straight line)

Thus,

i. a^{o} +  b^{o} = x^{o}  (sum of two opposite interior angles is equal to an exterior angle)

⇒ a^{o}  = x^{o} - b^{o}

Also,

b^{o}  = x^{o} - a^{o}

But,

a^{o} + b^{o} + c^{o} = 180^{o}   (sum of angles in a triangle)

⇒ c^{o} = 180^{o} - (a^{o} +  b^{o})

and

a^{o} + b^{o} = 180^{o} - c^{o}

ii. a^{o} + b^{o} + c^{o} = 180^{o}   (sum of angles in a triangle)

a^{o} = 180^{o} - (b^{o} + c^{o})

Also,

a^{o} +  b^{o} = x^{o}

⇒ b^{o} = x^{o} - a^{o}

c^{o} = 180^{o} - x^{o}
