Answer:

The first number is 20, the second one is 11

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the first number be x and the second number be y

Since it says "9 is the difference between two numbers", the first equation will be x-y=9

It also says that "their sum is 31". That means the second equation will be x+y=31

here are the two equations:

x-y=9

x+y=31

You can solve this any way you like, but I'll show elimination

add the two equations

x-y=9

x+y=31

2x=40

divide by 2

x=20

Substitute 20 as x in one of the equations

20+y=31

subtract 20 from both sides

y=11

That means the two numbers are 20 and 11

Hope this helps!

Determine the longest side in ΔDEF.
Helen [10]

Option D:

Segment DF

Solution:

Let us first define the relationship between the side and angle in triangle.

<u>Relationship between the side and angle in triangle:</u>

  • The shortest side is always opposite to the smallest interior angle.
  • The largest side is always opposite to the largest interior angle.

To find the largest side in ΔDEF:

Largest angle in ΔDEF is ∠­E = 73°

So, the side opposite to 73° is DF.

Therefore, Option D is the correct answer.

Hence the segment DF is the longest side in the ΔDEF.

Question 13
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

Here in this question , we are interested in calculating the total distance covered by the train in the 10 minutes that it ran.

From the first part of the question, we already know the distances in the first 5 minutes.

Now, to calculate the total distance in the second 5 minutes, we use the distance formula since we have the average speed and the time;

Mathematically; Total distance = average speed * time

From the question, average speed is 33km/h, while time is 5 minutes. To achieve a consistent unit, we convert 5 minutes to hours.

That would be 5/60 = 1/12 hours

So the total distance in the second 5 minutes is;

33 * 1/12 = 2.75 km

Now, to calculate the total distance traveled, let’s add up the distances in the first 5 minutes and convert to kilometers;

That would be;

68 + 127 + 208 + 312 + 535 = 1,250 m

Let’s convert this to km.

We simply divide by 1000 = 1250/1000 = 1.25 km

The total distance is thus ;

1.25 + 2.75 = 4 km
