Answer:

10 and 42

Step-by-step explanation:

The difficulty with word problems is translating them into math.

Let's do that

---------------------

The sum of a number and two times a smaller number is 62.

let's call the bigger number b, and the smaller number s

b + 2s = 62

Three times the bigger number exceeds the smaller number by 116

3b = s + 116

-----------------------

Now manipulate one of the equations to isolate the variable

3b = s + 116

Subtract 116 from both sides

3b - 116 = s

substitute for s = 3b - 116 in

b + 2s = 62

b + 2(3b - 116) = 62

Distribute

b + 6b - 232 = 62

combine like terms

7b = 294

Divide both sides by 7

b = 42

to find s plug in b = 42 into

b + 2s = 62

42 + 2s = 62

subtract 42 from both side

2s = 20

divide both sides by 2

s = 10

Determine the value of x
Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer:

2√2

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>By </u><u>using </u><u>trigonometry,</u>

sin 45° = x/4

x = 4sin 45°

x = 2√2

<u>By </u><u>using </u><u>Pythagorean</u><u> </u><u>theorem</u><u>,</u>

Since you know that it is an isosceles triangle and it's also a right-angled triangle,

4² = x² + x²

16 = 2x²

x² = 8

x = √8

= 2√2
