Answer:

11 and 33

Step-by-step explanation:

The greater of two numbers is 3 times the smaller.

Let the numbers be

n and 3n

sum is 44

n + 3n = 44

4n = 44

Divide both sides by 4

n = 11

3n = 3 * 11

3n = 33

Answer:

smaller number is 11

bigger number is 33.

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets make the smaller number be a, the bigger number 3a since its 3 times a's value

the sum of a and 3a is 44

so we write

a+3a = 44

combine like terms

a+3a = 4a

4a = 44

divide both sides by 4

a = 11.

Now we know the smaller number is equal to 11, but we are not done just yet.

We have to find the value of the bigger number by plugging in 11 into our equation

11+3*11 = 44

11 + 33 = 44

which means the bigger number is 33

Answer:

Flour $5\dfrac{1}{2}\ c$

Sugar $2\dfrac{2}{3}\ c$

Butter $1\dfrac{1}{2}\ c$

Eggs $2$

Baking powder $7\ t$

Vanilla extract $3\ t$

Step-by-step explanation:

There will be 16 people at the party. Each person will eat 3 cookies, so all people will eat $16\cdot 3=48$ cookies.

Given cookie recipe makes 24 cookies, so to make 48 cookies you need

$48:24=2$ portions.

Thus,

1 portion 2 portions

Flour $2 \dfrac{3}{4}\ c$ $2\dfrac{3}{4}\cdot 2=2\cdot 2+\dfrac{3}{4}\cdot 2=4+\dfrac{3}{2}=4+1 \dfrac{1}{2}=5\dfrac{1}{2}\ c$

Sugar $1\dfrac{1}{3}\ c$ $1\dfrac{1}{3}\cdot 2=1\cdot 2+\dfrac{1}{3}\cdot 2=2+\dfrac{2}{3}=2\dfrac{2}{3}\ c$

Butter $\dfrac{3}{4}\ c$ $\dfrac{3}{4}\cdot 2=\dfrac{3}{2}=1\dfrac{1}{2}\ c$

Eggs $1$ $1\cdot 2=2$

Powder $3\dfrac{1}{2}\ t$ $3\dfrac{1}{2}\cdot 2=3\cdot 2+\dfrac{1}{2}\cdot 2=6+1=7\ t$

Vanilla $1\dfrac{1}{2}\ t$ $1\dfrac{1}{2}\cdot 2=1\cdot 2+\dfrac{1}{2}\cdot 2=2+1=3\ t$

I’ve been stuck can someone explain

MariettaO [177]

Answer:

Option (3)

Step-by-step explanation:

From the figure attached,

AB and CD are two chords intersecting at O.

m∠AOD = 37°

m∠AOC + m∠AOD = 180° [Since these angles are supplementary angles]

m∠AOC = 180° - 37°

= 143°

By the theorem of intersecting chords,

Measure of angle formed is the half of the sum of measures of the arcs intercepted by the angle and vertical angle.

m∠AOC = $\frac{1}{2}(\widehat{AC}+\widehat{BD})$

143° = $\frac{1}{2}[(x+5)+(x-5)]$

143° = x

Therefore, Option (3) will be the answer.

4x - 5= 2(2x - 1) -3

Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer and Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x.

Distribute the 2.

4x - 5 = 4x - 2 - 3

Combine like terms

4x - 5 = 4x - 5

Add 5, and subtract 4x.

0 = 0

There are infinitely many solutions, meaning any value plugged in for x will result in the equation being true.

HELP ME!!! ITS DUE TOMMOROW!! Find the largest value of $r$ such that $6r^2+7r+8=6$.

Alex787 [66]

First you need to see that this is a quadratic. I need.to put all of the values on one side of equation to see what I got.
6r^2 + 7r + 8 = 6
6r^2 + 7r + 2 = 0

Now this one is difficult to factor so i will use quadratic equation:
[-b (+-) sqrt (b^2 - 4ac)] / (2a)

we know that a b and c are in a quadratic at these positions.
ax^2 + bx + c

so
[-7 (+-) sqrt (7^2 -(4)(6)(2)] / (2) (6)
[-7 (+-) sqrt (49 - 48)] / 12
[-7 (+-) 1] /12

split into the + and - for 2 answers
(-7 + 1) / 12
-6/12
-1/2

And
(-7 -1) /12
-8 / 12
-2/3

those are.the 2 answers

But but it says largest so -1/2
