Answer:

The two numbers are 39 and 27.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find these numbers, set the first number equal to x. Then the second number can be described as x - 12. Using these two terms, you can add them together and set equal to 66.

x + x - 12 = 66

2x - 12 = 66

2x = 78

x = 39

Given this as the first number, put into the second equation to find the next.

x - 12

(39) - 12

27

What is the equation of the line that is perpendicular to f(x) and passes through the point (4, –6)
AnnZ [28]
What is the first equation?

Remember perpendicular lines have reciprocal slopes.

So if we have 1/2 we flip to fraction and sign becoming -2.

You then input the point to find the y-intercept.

Choose the best answer. The diagonals of a rectangle:
erastovalidia [21]

C.) Are the same length

<u>How you know-</u>

No matter how long the rectangle is the diagonals always will measure the same length. Think about two sides of a square, they have to equal the same length because if they were not the same then the shape wouldn't be a square.

Ajax is 5 and 1 fourth feet tall. His sister is 3 eighths foot shorter than Ajax How tall is Ajax Sister?
user100 [1]

Answer:

4\frac{3}{4} feet tall

Step-by-step explanation:

Ajax is "5 and 1 fourth feet tall", which can be written as the mixed number 5\frac{1}{4} .

His sister is "3 eighths foot shorter", so she's 3/8 feet shorter than 5 1/4.

So, this is just a subtraction problem:

5\frac{1}{4} -\frac{3}{8}

To solve this, we want to convert 5 1/4 into an improper fraction, which is: \frac{21}{4} . Now, we want to find a common denominator. In this case, that common denominator is 8, so \frac{21}{4} =\frac{42}{8} .

Finally, we subtract 3/8 from 42/8: \frac{42}{8} -\frac{3}{8} =\frac{39}{8} . So, Ajax's sister is 39/8 feet. Converting this into a mixed number, we have: 39/8 = 4\frac{6}{8} =4\frac{3}{4} .

Therefore, Ajax's sister is 4\frac{3}{4} feet tall.

Hope this helps!
