Answer:

x = 18

y = 38

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the smaller number be = x

Let the larger number be = y

Sum of the number, x + y = 56 --------- ( 1 )

Seven  times smaller number = 7x

Three times larger number = 3y

Seven times smaller = 12 more than 3times larger , 7x = 12 + 3y ----- ( 2 )

Solve ( 1 ) and ( 2 )

x + y = 56  => x = 56 - y

Substitute x in ( 2 )

7x - 3y = 12

7(56 - y) - 3y = 12

392 - 7y - 3y = 12

-10y =  12 - 392

-10y = - 380

y = 38

Substitute y in ( 1 )

x + y = 56

x + 38 = 56

x = 56 - 38

x = 18

X+y=56
7x-12=3y
7x-3y=12

3x+3y=168
7x-3y=12

10x=180
X=18

56-18=y
Y=38

If 0 < x < 1 and 0 < y < 1, which of the following must be true?
katovenus [111]
0<x<1 and 0<y<1

x>0 so x is positive and y>0 so y is also positive.
When you multiply two positive numbers you always get a positive number, so the product of x and y must be positive, or greater than 0.
xy>0 - it must be true
xy<0 - it can't be true
Also when you divide a positive number by a positive number you always get a positive number, so the quotient of x and y must be positive.
x/y<0 - it can't be true
D and E can be true, but don't have to. It depends on the values of x and y. If x>y, then x-y>0 is true and x-y<0 isn't true; if x<y, then x-y>0 isn't true and x-y<0 is true.

Therefore, only A <u>must</u> be true.

If n is a positive even number, then the product of (-12)ⁿ will be what
kipiarov [429]

Answer:

a positive even number.

Step-by-step explanation:

I suggest plugging in random positive even numbers and finding a pattern. (-12)^2 = 144. (-12)^ 4= 20,736. this is because two negatives, when multiplied, turn to a positive. the n is how many times negative 12 is multiplied with itself
