Answer:

947

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the bigger number be y and the smaller number be x

The difference between the two numbers is written as:

y - x

But from the question we were told that the difference between the two numbers is 685. Therefore,

y - x = 685

Also, from the question, we were told that the smaller number (x) is 262. Therefore,

y - x = 685 becomes:

y - 262 = 685

Collect like terms

y = 685 + 262

y = 947

Therefore, the other number is 947

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the two numbers be x and y 

x - y = 685

Let the smaller number be y 

x - 262 = 685

x = 685 + 262

Therefore x = 947

Which composition of transformations maps figure EFGH to figure E"F"G"H"?

Lostsunrise [7]

The composition of transformations maps figure EFGH to figure E"F"G"H" is Option A.a reflection across line k followed by a translation down.

<h3>What is translation?</h3>

A translation can be explained as the movement of a shape in a direction which could be up, down but the appearance of the figure remain unchanged in any other way.

And from the figure, we can see that a translation is used, because of the movement of EFGH to figure E"F"G"H" which occurred in the same direction.

Hence, composition of transformations maps figure EFGH to figure E"F"G"H" is Option A.a reflection across line k followed by a translation down.

A dragonfly can beat its wings 30 times a second. write an equation in slioe intercept form that shows the relationship between

ivanzaharov [21]

Answer:

1800

Step-by-step explanation:

Since there is the tragon fly beat his wings 30 times a second ,there is 60 hundredths of a second in a second multiply 30 x 60 and you should get 1800.

mulitiply 0x0 = 0

2. mulitiply 6x0=0

3. multiply 3x0=0

4. mulitiply 6x3 = 18

5. have 1800

or you can just multiply 6x3 = 18 and add the two zeros

which equation represents a line that is parallel to the line whose equation is 3x-2y=7; which equation represents a line parall

aleksley [76]

The equation of the line that is parallel to the line whose equation is 3x-2y=7 would be y = 3/2x + b, in which b can be any real number.

How are parallel straight lines related?

Parallel lines have the same slope since the slope is like a measure of steepness and since parallel lines are of the same steepness, thus, are of the same slope.

We have been given a parallel line with has equation

3x-2y=7

In order to solve this, the slope of the original line.

3x - 2y = 7

-2y = -3x + 7

y = 3/2x - 7/2

thus its slope is 3/2.

thus, the slope of the needed line is 3/2 too.

we know that any line that is parallel to that would have this slope.

So anything is written in the form:

y = 3/2x + b

The equation of the line that is parallel to the line whose equation is 3x-2y=7 would be y = 3/2x + b, in which b can be any real number.
