X:y=5:3 and x+y=56 work out the value of x-y

Mathematics
1 answer:
Vladimir79 [104]3 years ago
6 0

x - y = 14

given the ratio x : y = 5 : 3

then let x = 5x and y = 3x, hence equation can be expressed as

5x + 3x = 56

8x = 56 ( divide both sides by 8 )

x = 7

Hence x = 5 × 7 = 35 and y = 3 × 7 = 21

Thus x - y = 35 - 21 = 14

What are the steps of determine an inverse of a function?
Yuki888 [10]

Step-by-step explanation:

First, replace f(x) with y . ...

Replace every x with a y and replace every y with an x .

Solve the equation from Step 2 for y . ...

Replace y with f−1(x) f − 1 ( x ) . ...

Verify your work by checking that (f∘f−1)(x)=x ( f ∘ f − 1 ) ( x ) = x and (f−1∘f)(x)=x ( f − 1 ∘ f ) ( x ) = x are both true.

What is the value of x in the right triangle below? Show your work and round your answer to the nearest hundredth. ​
navik [9.2K]

The length of the hypothenuse or the value of x is equal to 19.53

Data;

  • hypothenuse = x
  • adjacent = 11.2
  • opposite = 16
<h3>Pythagoras's Theorem</h3>

To solve this problem, we have to use Pythagoras's theorem which is used to find the missing side in a right angle triangle if we have at least two sides.

The formula for this is

x^2 = y^2 + z^2\\

Let's substitute the values and solve for the missing side

x^2 = 16^2 + 11.2^2 \\x^2 = 256 + 125.44\\x^2 = 381.44\\x = \sqrt{381.44} \\x = 19.53

The length of the hypothenuse or the value of x is equal to 19.53
