The difference between two numbers is 8. Twice the number is 4 more than the larger number. What is the smaller number?

Mathematics

Answer:

If the two numbers are x and y, then:

x + y = 8

18 - 2x = 4y - 2.

When we subtract y from both sides in our first equation we get:

x = 8 - y, so:

18 - 2(8 - y) = 4y - 2

18 - 16 + 2y = 4y - 2

2 + 2y = 4y - 2

2y = 4

y = 2

Since x + y = 8, and y = 2, x = 6, and since 6 > 2, the larger number is 6.

I must assume that your graph is that of a straight line, and that the end points of the line are P and B, and (finally) that T is between P and B.  If these assumptions are correct, then the length of the line segment PB connecting points P and B is 15 + 10, or 25.

exis [7]

Answer:

  about 130 hp

Step-by-step explanation:

The displacement is smaller by a factor of 220/390, so we expect the horsepower to be smaller than 230 hp by the same factor:

  (220/390)(230 hp) ≈ 129.74 hp ≈ 130 hp
