The numbers are "x" and "y",
we suggest this system of equations.
x+y=24
x-y=15
solve by reduction method.
x+y=24
x-y=15
-----------------
2x=39      ⇒x=39/2=19.5

  x+y=24
-(x-y=15)
-------------------
   2y=9    ⇒y=9/2=4.5

The numbers are 19.5 and 4.5

To check
19.5+4.5=24
19.5-4.5=15

What are the zeros of f(x)=x^2+x-20?
zzz [600]
F(x) = x² + x - 20 = x² + 5x - 4x - 20 = x(x + 5) - 4(x + 5) = (x + 5)(x - 4)

f(x) = 0 ⇔ (x + 5)(x - 4) = 0 ⇔ x + 5 = 0 or x - 4 = 0 ⇒ x = -5 or x = 4

Answer: C. x = -5 and x = 4.

Indicate the method you would use to prove the two Δ's ≅ . If no method applies, enter "none".
slavikrds [6]

Here is your answer

SSS

REASON:

SSS congruency states that, if all the three sides of a triangle are respectively equal to the corresponding sides of another triangle then both triangles are said to be congruent.

Here, in both triangles

7units=7 units

8units=8units

Middle side is common to both triangles so it is equal.

Hence, both triangles are congruent by SSS

A 2 cm x 2 cm x 2 cm cube holds 468 grains of rice. How many grains of rice would fit in a box with
Amiraneli [1.4K]
Let the Volume of the first cube be V1

V1 = 2 * 2 * 2

= 8 cm*3


Let the Volume of the second cube be V2

V2 = 6 * 2 * 12

= 144 cm*3


Now, cube1 with volume of 8 cm*3 holds 468 grains of rice.

Thus, 1 cm*3 volume can hold 58.5 grains of rice ( 468 / 8 = 58.5)

Cube2 has volume of 144 cm*3.

Hence, it can hold 8424 grains of rice ( 144 * 58.5 = 8424)

What is the perimeter of triangle ABC?
ddd [48]

Answer: 24 units.

Step-by-step explanation: Count out how many units long AB is. AB goes from -3 to 3, for a length of 6 units.

Count out how long AC is. AC goes from 4 to -4, for a length of 8 units.

To find BC, use the Pythgorean theorem (a^2+b^2=c^2). 8^2 is 64, and 6^2 is 36. Add 64 and 36 to get 100. Then find the square root of 100, which is 10.

Add all the lengths. 6+8+10=24.
