Find the two numbers. Algebra -> Customizable Word Problem Solvers -> Numbers -> SOLUTION: The difference of two positive numbers is 8. The larger is twice the smaller decreased by 7.
Answer:
The answer is below
Step-by-step explanation:
The Angle Addition Postulate states that the measure of an angle formed by two or more angles which are placed side by side is the sum of the measures of the two angles.
Therefore:
∠MON = ∠MOP + ∠NOP (angle addition postulate)
Substituting values gives:
124 = (2x + 1) + (2x + 1)
124 = 2x + 2x + 1 + 1
124 = 4x + 2
subtracting 2 from both sides of the equation:
124 - 2 = 4x + 2 - 2
4x = 122
Dividing through by 4:
4x / 4 = 122 / 4
x = 30.5
Therefore ∠MOP = 2x + 1 = 2(30.5) + 1 = 62°, ∠NOP = 2x + 1 = 2(30.5) + 1 = 62°
∠MOP = 62°, ∠NOP = 62°
