Answer: 30.5 and 35.5

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use a system of linear equations to find out the answer to this problem. The larger number will be x and the smaller number will be y.

x=y+5

x+y=66

Substitute y+5 in for the bottom equation to get y+5+y=66. Simplify to get 2y+5=66. Subtract 5 from both sides and get 2y=61. Divide by 2 to get y=30.5. This is the smaller number. Add 5 to get the bigger number, which is 35.5

A rectangles tabletop has a length of 4 3/4 feet and a area of 11 7/8 square feet what is the width of the tabletop
Natalija [7]
Area is length times width. Therefore, width is area divided by length. Convert 11 7/8 to the improper fraction 95/8 and convert 4 3/4 to 19/4. Then, you can fine 95/8 divided by 19/4 by flipping the second fraction and multiplying so that you have 95/8 times 4/19. 4 times 95 is 380 and 8 times 19 is 152. Therefore, the answer is 380/152. This is equivalent to 5/2 or 2.5.

Find the coordinates of the point three tenths<br><br> of the way from A(-4, -8) to B(11, 7)
Leviafan [203]

let's first off take a peek at those values.

let's say the point with those coordinates is point C, so C is 3/10 of the way from A to B.

meaning, we take the segment AB and cut it in 10 equal pieces, AC takes 3 pieces, and CB takes 7 pieces, namely AC and CB are at a 3:7 ratio.


\bf ~~~~~~~~~~~~\textit{internal division of a line segment}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;A(-4,-8)\qquad B(11,7)\qquad&#10;\qquad \stackrel{\textit{ratio from A to B}}{3:7}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;\cfrac{A\underline{C}}{\underline{C} B} = \cfrac{3}{7}\implies \cfrac{A}{B} = \cfrac{3}{7}\implies 7A=3B\implies 7(-4,-8)=3(11,7)\\\\[-0.35em]&#10;~\dotfill\\\\&#10;C=\left(\frac{\textit{sum of "x" values}}{\textit{sum of ratios}}\quad ,\quad \frac{\textit{sum of "y" values}}{\textit{sum of ratios}}\right)\\\\[-0.35em]&#10;~\dotfill


\bf C=\left(\cfrac{(7\cdot -4)+(3\cdot 11)}{3+7}\quad ,\quad \cfrac{(7\cdot -8)+(3\cdot 7)}{3+7}\right)&#10;\\\\\\&#10;C=\left( \cfrac{-28+33}{10}~~,~~\cfrac{-56+21}{10} \right)\implies C=\left( \cfrac{5}{10}~~,~~\cfrac{-35}{10} \right)&#10;\\\\[-0.35em]&#10;\rule{34em}{0.25pt}\\\\&#10;~\hfill C=\left( \frac{1}{2}~,~-\frac{7}{2} \right)~\hfill
