A number is 6 greater than 1\2 another number. If the sum of the numbers is 21,find the numbers.

1 answer:

5 0

Let 1 number equal x
<span>Let the other number equal 1/2x + 6

x + (1/2x + 6) =21
1 & 1/2 x + 6 =21
1 & 1/2 x =15

What value of x satisfies the equation 6.4−2x−6.63x=610.5 ?

Nesterboy [21]

6.4 - 2x - 6.63x = 610.5
subtract 6.4 from both sides
-2x -6.63x =604.1
collect like terms
-8.63x = 604.1
divide both sides by -8.63

x= -70

In triangle ABC, AC =24, the measure of angle A = 30 degree , and the measure of angle B = 45 degree . Find the area of this tri

andriy [413]

Answer:

142.932

Step-by-step explanation:

given that in triangle ABC, AC =24

Angle A = 30 and Angle B =45

If we draw altitude from C, we get

h = 24sin 30 = 12

Since BC = h (45, 45,90 triangle)

BC=12

By sine formula for triangle

$\frac{12}{sin30} =\frac{AB}{sin(180-45-30)} \\AB = 24 sin 105 = 23.1822$

Area of triangle

= $1/2 (23.1822)(12)\\= 142.932$

So the magazine needs 700,000 readers to meet their goal.

Hope that helps you. :-)

A new computer can complete a complex biochemistry calculation in 7 hours less than an older-model computer. Working together, t

Alchen [17]

The rate a computer works is 1/time. Working together, you add the rates.
Let new computer be x, old computer be y.
x = y - 7

$\frac{1}{x} + \frac{1}{y} = \frac{1}{13} \\ \\ \frac{1}{y-7}+\frac{1}{y} = \frac{1}{13} \\ \\ \frac{2y-7}{y(y-7)} = \frac{1}{13} \\ \\ y(y-7) = 13(2y-7) \\ \\ y^2-33y+91 = 0 \\ \\ y = 29.96 \\ \\ x = y-7 = 29.96-7 = 22.96$
Rounded to nearest tenth gives:
x = 23 hours
