Answer:

  6, 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent one of the numbers. Then the other number is 15-x (because their sum is 15). The relation between the numbers is ...

  2x -3 = 15 -x . . . . . three less than twice one number is the other number

  3x = 18 . . . . . . add 3+x

  x = 6 . . . . . . divide by 3

  15-x = 9 . . . . find the other number

The two numbers are 6 and 9.

grin007 [14]

Answer:

6 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the information :

V=720 cm

L=?

P=15 cm

T=8 cm

The volume = L * P * T

V = L * P * T

720 = L * 15 * 8

720 = L * 120

L = 720 / 120

L = 6 cm

Line h contains the points (3,0) and (0,4). which point lies on a line that is perpendicular to line h and passes through point
Iteru [2.4K]
(3,0)(0,4)
slope = (4 - 0) / (0 - 3) = -4/3
A perpendicular line will have a negative reciprocal slope. So our perpendicular line has a slope of 3/4

y = mx + b
slope(m) = 3/4
(-6,-5)....x = -6 and y = -5
now sub into the formula and find b, the y int
-5 = 3/4(-6) + b
-5 = -18/4 + b
-5 + 18/4 = b
-20/4 + 18/4 = b
-2/4 = b
so ur perpendicular line is : y = 3/4x - 2/4....or 3x - 4y = 2

and ur point (6,4) lies on the perpendicular line <===
