Answer:

83 and 71

Step-by-step explanation:

One number is twelve less than the other number

Let the one number be x

Let the other number be x - 12

Since one number is 12 , less than the other number, and the total of the two numbers is 154, then, we'll have

x + x - 12 = 154

2x = 154 + 12

2x = 166

x = 83

Therefore, both numbers would be;

First number = x = 83

Second number = x - 12 = 83 - 12 = 71

VARVARA [1.3K]
If 1/6 of the pan was left and there were 2 pieces left you just need to set 1/6 equal to 2/some number, this allows you to say that 1/6=2/x --> x/6=2-->x=12. My explanation might be a little poor since this becomes fairly fundamental later on but hopefully it helps.

Shawna, Dexter, and Tilana are solving the equation -2.5(5-n)+2=15. Shawna says, “I can begin by dividing each side of the equat
laila [671]
Hi!
Shawna is correct because since it's multiplied to the  5-n you have to do the opposite which is division. 
Dexter is also correct because after distributing you can continue solving, there is nothing wrong with that. 
Hope this helps!

Identify the translation of the figure with the vertices P(−4,−5), L(1,−7), and K(−9,8), along the vector <−6, 3>.
jarptica [38.1K]

Answer:

P ′(−10, −2), L ′(−5, −4), K ′(−15, 11)

Step-by-step explanation:

The translation vector, ⟨−6,3⟩, can be used to derive a rule for the translation of the coordinates: (x,y)→(x−6,y+3).

Apply the rule to translate each of the three preimage vertices to the image vertices.

P(−4,−5)→P'(−10,−2)

L(1,−7)→L'(−5,−4)

K(−9,8)→K'(−15,11)

Therefore, P'(−10,−2), L'(−5,−4), N'(−15,11) is the translation of the figure with the vertices P(−4,−5), L(1,−7), and K(−9,8), along the vector ⟨−6,3⟩.

Convert 8.132132132 … to a rational expression in the form of a over b, where b ≠ 0.
Deffense [45]
8.13213213213232....=8+\sum_{i=1}^{\infty}\frac{132}{10^{3i}}=8+\frac{\frac{132}{10^3}}{1-\frac{1}{10^3}}=8+\frac{132}{999}=\frac{8124}{999}
