One half of a number decreased by 16

Mathematics

Hey there!

"One half of a number" will be a number (x) divided by 2. This can also be shown as "0.5x" or "1/2x", whichever you prefer. 

"...decreased by 16" will be "– 16", making your full equation 0.5x – 16. Remember that terms like remainder, difference, and fewer will always mean subtraction. 

Hope this helped you out! :-)

The sum of two numbers is 64 and their differences in 10. Find the numbers
uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

37 and 27

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets say that the two numbers are x and y. We get the equations x + y = 64 and x - y = 10. We can then add these two equations together to get, 2x = 74. Then we divide by two on both sides and get x = 37. We then plug this value back into the second equation and get that 37 - y = 10. We can simplify this and we get that y = 27. So our two numbers are 37 and 27.

Find the solution by graphing the equations pls help
lilavasa [31]

Answer:

graph these
y = 2x + 2
y = 2x - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

2x - y = -2
2x - y = 3

convert to y intercept form
first
2x - y = -2
-y = -2x - 2
y = 2x + 2
second
2x - y = 3
-y = -2x + 3
y = 2x - 3

you are left with
y = 2x + 2
y = 2x - 3
i cannot graph these for you, but i assume you know how, there is no solution because the lines are parallel

Is sin A is 7/10 what is Cos A
viva [34]

Answer:

Cos A = (√51)/ 10

Step-by-step explanation:

sin  is opposite/hypothenuse

cos is adjacent/hypothenuse

Pythagorus theorem says that c² = a² + b²

10² = 7² + b²

b² = 100 - 49

b = ±√51

It doesn't make sense for a length to be a minus number therefore, we will use +√51.

Cos A = (√51)/ 10

Tell me if I am wrong.
