Answer:

  • The smaller number  ⇒ y = 36
  • The larger number ⇒ x = y + 12 = 36 + 12 = 48

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Let the larger number be = x
  • Let the smaller number be = y

As the larger number is twelve more  than a smaller, so

x = y + 12

As the sum of larger and smaller numbers is 84, so

x + y = 84

now substituting x = y + 12 in th equation x + y = 84

x + y = 84

(y + 12) + y = 84

2y + 12 = 84

subtract 12 from both sides

2y + 12 - 12 = 84 - 12

2y = 72

divide both sides by 2

2y/2 = 72/2

y = 36

Thus,

  • The smaller number  ⇒ y = 36
  • The larger number ⇒ x = y + 12 = 36 + 12 = 48

Why is -7 an integer but not a natural number?
MrMuchimi

Answer:

Natural Numbers are basically "counting numbers". If I ask you to start counting, you'll start at 1, then 2, then 3, and so on. It doesn't include 0 or any negative numbers because you wouldn't start from -10 when asked to count.

5.5 = -2 + d
TEA [102]
The value of <em>d</em> is 7.5.

The key to solving equations is doing the inverse, or opposite, function/process.
For example, you subtract when d + 1 = 2:
d + 1 = 2
(d + 1) -1 = (2) - 1
d = 1

In the same way, you add values when you have a negative:
5.5 = -2 + d = d - 2
5.5 = d - 2
(5.5) + 2 = (d - 2) + 2
7.5 = d

Now if instead of adding 2, you subtract 2, the problem becomes:
5.5 = d - 2
(5.5) - 2 = (d - 2) - 2
3.5 = d - 4

This doesn't solve your problem, it just makes the value needed to be canceled out larger.

Thus d = 7.5 and you will add because the value is negative.

A cone has a diameter of 24 in. and a slant height of 15 in. What is the approximate volume of the cone? Use 3.14 to approximate
g100num [7]
So you are using Volume...

V=1/3(pi)r^2h
as you go thu this equation

15 x 15 =225
12 x12= 144
225-144= 81
81/9=9

which your piece would be 1/3 pi r^2h answer is 1356.48
and you round it to the nearest tenth. So

 ( 1356.5) is ur answer...... So (B)

What is the slope of line 2x-3y=19.<br>​
KengaRu [80]

Answer:

\frac{2}{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given Equation of line: y=mx+c,

where m = slope of line.

So, we will have to make y the subject to find the slope.

2x-3y=19\\2x-3y-2x=19-2x\\-3y=-2x+19\\y=\frac{-2x+19}{-3} \\y=\frac{2}{3} x-\frac{19}{3}

From here, we can see the slope of the line is \frac{2}{3}.
