Mathematics

yaroslaw [1]2 years ago
6 0

Answer:

The smaller number is 240.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question says that the larger number is 300, so 5 has to be 300.

4:5

?:300

You can use cross-multiplication or find the scale factor to find the answer.

Cross-multiplication:

4 × 300 ÷ 5 = 240

Finding the scale factor:

300 ÷ 5 = 60

4 × 60 = 240

The smaller number is 240.

write the point slope form of the equation for a line that passes through the point 3, 1 and is parallel to the line y=3x+3
Galina-37 [17]

Answer:

y=3x-8

Step-by-step explanation:

If the line is parallel to y=3x+3, that would mean that they would have the same slope of 3. Then, once you plug it back into the equation along with the point given, you would get 1=3(3)+b. Solve from there, and you get b= -8. In conclusion, your point slope formula comes out to be y=3x-8.

Hope this helps! :)

Two brothers are saving money to buy tickets to a concert. their combined saving is $55 one brother has $15 more than the other.
Vladimir [108]

Brother one: x

Brother two: x + 15

---

Make them add up to 55 in an equation.

x + (x + 15) = 55

Combine like terms.

2x + 15 = 55

Subtract 15 from both sides.

2x = 40

Divide both sides by 2.

x = 20

Plug 20 for x into brother two.

(20) + 15 = 35

Brother one has saved $20, brother two has saved $35.

Segments RT and SU are diameters of circle O.What is mSRT?
Pavlova-9 [17]

Angle SRT is undetermined by the question.

A diameter always subtends a right angle (Thales' Theorem, the first in geometry)  so we can be assured SRU, STU, RUT and RST are right angles.
