Mathematics

Oxana [17]3 years ago

4 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the numbers are 4x and 7x. According to the question if each number is increased by 20, the ratio becomes 7 : 9.

Then,

( 4x + 20 ) : ( 7x + 20 ) = 7 : 9

9( 4x + 20 ) = 7( 7x + 20 )

9( 4x ) + 9( 20 ) = 7( 7x ) + 7( 20 )

9( 20 ) - 7( 20 ) = 7( 7x ) - 9( 4x )

2( 20 ) = 49x - 36x

40 = 13 x

40 / 13 = x

Therefore, number are :–

4 x = 4( 40 / 13 ) = 160 / 13

7 x = 7( 40 / 13 ) = 280 / 13

Whats the equation of the line that passes threw -4,4 and is parrell to the line y=1/2-4

vovangra [49]

Answer:

$y=\frac{1}{2}x+6$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The equation of the known line is:

$y=\frac{1}{2}x-4$

A point on the unknown line is (-4, 4)

Now, since the two lines are parallel, their slopes must be equal.

Now, slope of the known line is the coefficient of 'x' which is $\frac{1}{2}$ .

Therefore, the slope of the unknown line is also $m=\frac{1}{2}$

Now, for a line with slope 'm' and a point on it $(x_1,y_1)$ is given as:

$y-y_1=m(x-x_1)$

Here, $m=\frac{1}{2}, x_1=-4,y_1=4$ . Therefore,

$y-4=\frac{1}{2}(x-(-4))\\\\y-4=\frac{1}{2}(x+4)\\\\y-4=\frac{1}{2}x+2\\\\y=\frac{1}{2}x+2+4\\\\y=\frac{1}{2}x+6$

Hence, the equation of the unknown line is $y=\frac{1}{2}x+6$ .

In Exercises 22 describe how the change affects

hodyreva [135]

Step-by-step explanation:

Total Surface Area of original cylinder

= (2×(22/7)×9)(9+24)

=18×22/7×33

=1,866.8

Total Surface Area of new cylinder

=(2×(22/7)×9/3)(9/3+24/3)

=(2×(22/7)×3)(3+8)

=6×22/7×11

=207.4

Change or Ratio of org. cylinder to new cylinder

=1,866.8/207.4

=9.0009
