Mathematics
1 answer:
Nata [24]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

35.34 and 16.66

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

let the numbers be x and y

the smaller number = x

the larger number = y

x+y=52--------1

<em>The larger number is 2 less than twice the smaller number</em>

y=2x-2-------2

put y= 2x-2 in eqn 1

x+2x-2=52

3x-2=52

3x=52-2

3x=50

x= 50/3

x= 16.66

put x=16.66 in eqn 1 to find y

x+y=52

16.66+y= 52

y=52-16.66

y= 35.34

Hence the numbers are

35.34 and 16.66

Check

35.34+16.66= 52

The area of the patio is 216 square feet. Write an equation that represents the area of the patio
Hoochie [10]

Answer:

216=2w \times w

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming that the patio is a rectangle, we have

A= l\times w

Where l is the length and w is the width.

Now let's assume that the length of the patio is double than the width.

l=2w

So, the equation that represents this problem is

216=2w \times w

Given the point (3,4) the slope of 6, find y, when x=27
vitfil [10]

Answer:

y = 148

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we use the point-slope form of the equation of a line to find the equation of this line.

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 4 = 6(x - 3)

y - 4 = 6x - 18

y = 6x - 14

Now we let x = 27 and find y.

y = 6(27) - 14

y = 162 - 14

y = 148

In blueprints an architects firm drew everything 1/24 of the actual size the windows will actually measure 4feet by 6 feet and t
stich3 [128]
To apply a scale to a measure, you have to follow this rule:

Real measure x Scale = Scaled measure

So the drawings will have:

4 x 1/24 = 0'167 feet
6 x 1/24 = 0'25 feet
<span>Windows: 0'167 by 0'25 feet
</span>
<span>12 x 1/24 = 0'50 feet
</span><span>8 x 1/24 = 0'33 feet
</span>Doors: 0'33 by <span>0'50 feet</span>
