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

Allushta [10]

Answer:

115 = 15 x + 40

the charge is $5 dollars per mile

Step-by-step explanation:

He truck is rented at $40 per day plus they charge per mile of use the truck travel 15 miles in one day and the total charge was 115

LEt x  be  the charge in dollars per hour

Initial charge is 40 and 15 miles travelled  in one day

total charge = 15x + 40

Given : total charge is 115

So the equation becomes

115 = 15 x + 40

Now we solve for x

Subtract 40 from both sides

75= 15 x

Divide both sides by 15

x= 5

so , the charge is $5 dollars per mile

If ∠A and ∠B are supplementary and m∠A = 37°45', then m∠B = ______.
xenn [34]

Answer: 142°15'

Explanation:

Supplementary angles are angles that add up to make a straight angle (180^{\circ}).

Therefore, we must find the angle ∠B such that

∠A + ∠B = 180° (1)

We know that ∠A = 37°45', so we can re-arrange equation (1) to find the magnitude of ∠B:

∠B = 180° - ∠A = 180° - 37°45' = 142°15'

So, the correct answer is

142°15'
