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.

I hope this helped you. If it did, please consider, rating, pressing thanks and/or giving my answer 'Brainliest.' Have a great day! :)

Answer: 2.5

Step-by-step explanation:

y = rx

substitute numbers in and solve for r

if

y = 10

x = 4

10 = r4

r = 10/4 = 2.5

What is the SUM of the angle measures in a nonagon (9 sides)?
GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

All sides are the same length (congruent) and all interior angles are the same size (congruent). To find the measure of the angles, we know that the sum of all the angles is 1260 degrees (from above)... And there are nine angles... So, the measure of the angle of a regular nonagon is 140 degrees.
