Answer:
c) 4
Step-by-step explanation:
<u><em>The sum of two numbers is 14. The larger number minus three times the lesser number is -2</em></u>
<u><em /></u>
To solve this question, we need to write the statement mathematically;
Let the two numbers be x and y
"The sum of two numbers is 14" can be mathematically written as x+y = 14
and
"The larger number minus three times the lesser number is -2" can be mathematically written as x - 3y = -2
x + y = 14 ------------------(1)
x - 3y= -2 -------------------(2)
Subtract equation (2) from equation (1)
[x - x = 0 y - (-3y)=4y 14-(-2)=16]
4y = 16
To get the value of y divide both-side of the equation by 4
4y/4 = 16/4
y = 4
Substitute y=4 into equation (1)
x + y =14
x +4 =14
Subtract 4 from both-side of the equation
x + 4 -4 = 10]-4
x = 10
x=10 and y =4
Therefore the lesser number is 4
Answer:

Answer:
sin -12/13
Step-by-step explanation:
You can use the identity ...
tan = sin/cos
to solve for sine:
sin = cos·tan
sin = (-5/13)(12/5) =
sin -12/13
Answer:
$8.08
Step-by-step explanation:
First subtract 9.50 from 35.75 to get
24.25
Then divide 24.25 by 3 to get
Approx $8.08
X=width of a coccer pitch
2x-20=length of a soccer pitch
Area (rectangule)=length x width
We suggest this equation:
x(2x-20)=6000
2x²-20x=6000
2x²-20x-6000=0
x²-10x-3000=0
We solve this quadratic equation:
x=[10⁺₋√(100-4*1*-3000)]/2=[10⁺₋√(100+12000)]/2=
=(10⁺₋110)/2
we have two solutions:
x₁=(10-110)/2=-50, invalid solution.
x₂=(10+110)/2=60
x=60
2x-20=2(60)-20=120-20=100
Solution: the length is 100 m, and the width is 60 m.
To check:
Area=100 m*60 m=6000 m²
The twice of width is =2(60 m)=120 m,
20 m less than twice its width is: 120 m-20 m=100 m=the length.
