The sum of two numbers is 20. The difference

Mathematics

Leno4ka [110]2 years ago

Hence, the numbers are 16 and 4

<u>Further Explanation:</u>

First of all we have to make the equations from the word problem.

Let x be the first number and y be the second number.

Then,

The sum of two numbers is 20 => x + y = 20 => Eqn 1

The difference  between three times the first number and  twice the second is 40 => 3x-2y = 40 => Eqn 2

From\ Eqn\ 1\\x+y=20\\y = 20-x\\Putting\ y=20-x\ into\ Eqn\ 2\\3x - 2(20-x) = 40\\3x-40+2x = 40\\5x-40 = 40\\5x = 40+40\\5x = 80\\\frac{5x}{5} = \frac{80}{5} \\x = 16\\y = 20-x\\y=20-16\\y = 4

The numbers can be verified:

x+y = 20\\16+4 =20\\20=20\\

As the equation is verified by the values of x and y.

Hence, the numbers are 16 and 4

Why would engineers and architects need to find angles in a polygon
agasfer [191]
As a engineer who was mechanical then electrical most buildings, schematics,etc require some form of calculation for some shapes seeing that those shapes are what make up the world. Say for example you need to make something like a mother board pro house knowing it's shape and angle helps make a more accurate structure during the blue printing and build phase. No one just goes in and wings it you need to determine angles for things you don't know that the point of it.

Determine the point of intersection of right bisectors in a triangle ∆ with vertices A (-3, 5), B (1, 1) and (−7, −3). Find the
iris [78.8K]

Answer:

Point of intersection (-11/3 , 1/3)

All distances from the vertices are \frac{10\sqrt{2} }{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

The vertices of the triangle is A(-3,5) , B (1,1) and C (-7,-3)

We need to find the perpendicular bisector of the triangle first

let's take one side connecting A and B

mid point of A and B = (-1,3)

Slope of the line joining A and B = -1

slope of perpendicular to line joining A and B = 1

equation of line passing through (-1,3) with slope 1

y - 3 = 1(x-(-1))

y -3 = x+1

x-y = -4 ............(1)

similarly

mid point joining B and C = (-3,-1)

slope perpendicular to line joining B and C  =  -2

Equation of perpendicular bisector of line joining B and C =

y +1 = -2(x +3 )

y+1 = -2x -6

2x+y = -7 ..........(2)

On solving 1 and 2

x= -11/3 , y= 1/3

Distances

From A = \frac{10\sqrt{2} }{3}

From B = \frac{10\sqrt{2} }{3}

From C = \frac{10\sqrt{2} }{3}
