Mathematics

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

Please help me on this I’m super stuck
erastova [34]

Answer:

<u>BC = 3.1666</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this you need to know that cosine∅ = adjacent/hypotenuse. We already know that hypotenuse = 5 and that ∅ = 70*. By substituting these in you will get cosine 70* = adjacent/5. Evaluate cosine 70* on the calculator and get 0.633... Multiply both sides by 5 and get adjacent is about equal to 3.1666. Because BC is the adjacent side of the triangle, this is the length of BC.
