A number is two more than another number in number form?​

From the information in the word problem we are able to set up the following inequality:  

3y + 2 - y = 12   |   where x is the larger number of two numbers in a set (x, y)  

We know this because the problem states that [x = 3y + 2] or 3 times the smaller number plus two.  

We also know that x - y = 12.

So, we substitute x in [x - y = 12] with 3y + 2 that we found out above, and we get the following:

3y + 2 - y = 12

Now, we solve the inequality

3y + 2 - y = 12

-> subtract 2 from both sides :: 3y - y = 10

-> subtract y from 3y              :: 2y = 10

-> divide both sides by 2        :: y = 5

So now we have y, the smaller number, which is equal to 5. Next, to find x we simply plug y=5 back in to either the value of x, [3y + 2], or the inequality of x - y = 12. I will show both:  

x - y = 12

-> substitute y for 5     :: x - 5 = 12

-> add 5 to both sides :: x = 17

OR

3y + 2 = x

-> substitute y with 5 :: 3(5) + 2 = x

-> multiply 3, 5          :: 15 + 2 = x

-> add 15, 2              :: 17 = x

So there you have it:  

x = 17 , y = 5

You can go back and use these values to check your answer and make sure they work with the word problem.  

Remember to look for the setup to an inequality in the word problem. Anything that says BLANK times this number, or 4 less than that number, is trying to set you up with an inequality problem.  

(just another form of the equation)

Geometry<br> Solve for x. Round to the nearest tenth of a degree, if necessary.
zvonat [6]

Answer:

  13. x = 52.8°

  14. 663.65 ft

  15. 30.7 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The mnemonic SOH CAH TOA is intended to remind you of the relations between sides of a right triangle and trig functions of the acute angles.

__

<h3>13.</h3>

The sides adjacent and opposite the angle are marked. The relevant trig relation is ...

  Tan = Opposite/Adjacent

  tan(x°) = 2.5/1.9

The angle is found using the inverse tangent function:

  x° = arctan(2.5/1.9) ≈ 52.8°

__

<h3>14.</h3>

Again, the tangent relation comes into play. The given values are the side opposite and the angle, and we are asked for the side adjacent.

  Tan = Opposite/Adjacent

  tan(11°) = (129 ft)/(distance to shore)

  distance to shore = (129 ft)/tan(11°)

  distance to shore ≈ 663.65 ft

__

<h3>15.</h3>

In this scenario, the given angle is opposite the given side of the triangle. The measure of the hypotenuse is needed.

  Sin = Opposite/Hypotenuse

  sin(71°) = (29 ft)/(ladder length) . . . . substitute given information

  ladder length = (29 ft)/sin(71°) . . . . . . solve for ladder length

  ladder length ≈ 30.7 ft

Val needs to find the area enclosed by the figure. The figure is made by attaching semicircles to each side of a 42-m-42-m squar
oee [108]

The area enclosed by the figure is 4533.48 square meters.

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Side length of the square = 42m

The semicircle is attached to each side of the square. So the diameter of the semicircle is the length of the square.

Radius of the semicircle = 21m

Area of the square = 42 x 42 = 1764 square meters

Area of 1 semicircle = π(21 x 21) /2

= (3.14) (441) /2

= 1384.74/2

= 692.37 square meters

Area of 4 semicircle = 4 x 692.37

= 2769.48 square meters

Total area = 1764 + 2769.48

= 4533.48 square meters

The area enclosed by the figure is 4533.48 square meters.
