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

Solve for y: 2x+3y=21

stealth61 [152]

Answer:

y = 7 - 2x/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Make the y alone, so 3y = -2x+21

Divide everything else by 3, so y = -2x/3 +7

You end with the answer of y= 7-2x+3

PLEASE help with these questions??<br> there are 7 of them!<br> Thank you!!

We know in these kind of triangles that have a 90 degrees angle, we can do:

${a}^{2} + {b}^{2} = {c}^{2}$

so the first question:

$\sqrt{ {99}^{2} + {20}^{2} } = 101$

and then:

$b = \sqrt{ {17}^{2} - {15}^{2} } = 8$

so , when you want to rationalize , usually you must multiply the irrational factor as 1:

$\frac{ \sqrt{15} }{ \sqrt{15} } = 1$

so , now multiply:

$\frac{3}{ \sqrt{15} } \times \frac{ \sqrt{15} }{ \sqrt{15} } = \frac{3 \sqrt{15} }{15} = \frac{ \sqrt{15} }{5}$

in the next question,we know negative numbers in radical don't have any solution so 2 is correct,
