The sum of two numbers is 67. The larger number is 4 more than 2 times the smaller. What are the two numbers?

1 answer:

6 0

X,y - two numbers (x > y)

(1) x + y = 67 ⇒ x = 67 - y
(2) x - 4 = 2y

subtitute (1) to (2)

67 - y - 4 = 2y
63 - y = 2y |add y to both sides
63 = 3y |divide both sides by 3
y = 21

subtitute the value of y to (1)

x = 67 - 21 = 46

Answer: 21 and 46.

If line d intersects plane F, then how many points on line d also lie on plane F?

Lana71 [14]

The intersection of a line and a plane is a point that lies both on the line and the plane F. This is illustrated in the figure below. You can see that the point of intersection is P. What this intersection means is that the line passes through the plane F.

So, the right answer is b) 1
