Answer:

Let the larger number = y and the smaller number = x.

The largest number is 10 less than twice the smaller number. Remember that less than means subtract the 10 from the other amount while twice means multiply by two. Therefore,

y = 2x - 10

The sum of the two numbers is 38. Remember sum means add the two numbers to get their result. Therefore,

x + y = 38

Since y = 2x - 10, we rewrite the lower equation as:

x + (2x - 10) = 38

Solving:

3x - 10 = 38

3x = 48

x = 16

The lesser number is 16 and the greater number is 2(16) - 10 or 22.

Find the value of each variable. X and y. 26 30
meriva

Answer:

x = 13 and y = 13√3

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall that sin Ф = opposite side / hypotenuse, and that

                   cos Ф = adjacent sice / hypotenuse.

if we recognize that the angle Ф is 30° here, then we know that:

x = opposite side = hypotenuse * sin 30° = 26*(1/2) = 13.

and....

y = adjacent side = hypotenuse*cos 30° = 26*√3/2 = 13√3

In summary, x = 13 and y = 13√3
