Answer:

m + n = 15

m - 3 = n

The numbers are 9 and 6

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question,

The sum of two numbers is fifteen; the first number is m and the second number is n. To translate to a system of equations, we can write that

m + n = 15 ..... (1)

Also, from the question,

One number is three less than the other,

Also, to translate to a system of equations, we can write that

m - 3 = n ...... (2)

If desired, we can determine m and n

From equation (1)

m + n = 15

Then,

m = 15 - n ...... (3)

Put the value of m in equation (3) into equation (2)

m - 3 = n

Then

15 - n - 3 = n

15 - 3 = n + n

12 = 2n

n = 12/2

∴ n = 6

For m, put the value of n into equation 3

m = 15 - n

m = 15 - 6

m = 9

∴ m = 9 and n = 6

Hence, the numbers are 9 and 6

A 12.0-cm segment makes a 108.0-degree angle with a 16.0-cm segment. To the nearest tenth of a cm, find the third side of the tr

Dominik [7]

Begin by using the cosine rule to find the unknown side.

Where a- unknown side, b is 12, c is 16 and angle in between is 108°

The cosine rule...

a² = b² + c² - 2bc cosA

= 12² + 16² - (2×12×16 cos108°)

= 518.655076

Taking the positive square root...

a = 22.774

a = 22.8 cm nearest tenth
