Let the numbers be x and y

x= y-2.... (1)
and, 2y = 16 + 4x.... (2)

putting the value of x from (1) in (2),

2y = 16 + 4x
=> 2y = 16 + 4(y-2)
=> 2y = 16 + 4y - 8
=> 2y = 8 + 4y
=> 2y - 4y = 8
=> -2y = 8
=> y =-8/2
=> y= -4

and x = -4-2 = -6

hence , in short the numbers are -2 and -4

Find x. Round your answer to the nearest tenth. <br><br> ______________
liubo4ka [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step expThis is the concept of trigonometry, the value of x will be calculated as follows;

sin theta=[opposite]/[hypotenuse]

theta=x

opposite=16 units

hypotenuse=21 units

thus;

sin x=16/21

hence;

x=arcsin(16/21)

x=49.63

x=50 (to the nearest degrees)

Please help me with #4 I need to solve this equation :/ it's confusing
Vera_Pavlovna [14]
First u gotta estimate what the answer u think it is. Then u turn the 2 into an 8 by multiplying both the numerator (which is 1) and denominator (which is 2) by 4 to make it 8. U then get the answer 5 4/8 and u then subtract the 5 4/8 with the 5/8 to get the answer. This was only for the first one tho!!!
