Answer:

Smaller number: 12

Larger number: 34

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the smaller number.

Let 3x - 2 represent the larger number (The larger number is two less than three times the smaller number, or x)

x + 3x -2 = 46

   Add 3x + x:

4x - 2 = 46

   Add 2 to both sides:

4x = 46 + 2

   Add 46 + 2:

4x = 48

    Divide both sides by 4:

4x/4 = 48/4

x = 12 is the smaller number

Since 12 is the smaller number, and the sum of the two numbers is 46, than the larger number must be 34.

AysviL [449]

To solve this problem, we must figure out what percent of the total spending was spent on mommy and baby exercise programs. To figure this out, we should divide how much was spent on the mommy and baby exercise by the total amount spent on the district activities.

$1430/$5720 = 0.25

This is a percentage, or a portion out of 100, which means we must multiply this decimal by 100 to find its equivalent percentage.

0.25 * 100 = 25

Therefore, your answer is 25% of the total spending was spent on mommy and baby exercise programs.

Hope this helps!

Determine the center and radius of the following circle equation: x^2+y^2+20x+8y+35=0
natta225 [31]

Answer:

center: (-10,-4)

radius: 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's start off by moving the 35 to the other side and grouping the x and y terms we have

(x²+20x)+(y²+8y)= -35

Next we take the term with the x coeficcent, divide it by 2, and square it

so

for the x we would do (20/2)²=100

and make sure we add that to the 35

(x²+20x+100)+(y²+8y+16)= -35+100+16

next factor everythign to get

(x+10)²+(y+4)²=81

therefore the center is (-10,-4)

and the radius is √81 or 9

Is the larger angle. It is more than 180° but less than 360° If you choose the smaller angle you might have an Acute Angle, or an Obtuse Angle instead: The larger angle is a Reflex Angle, but the smaller angle is an Acute Angle.
