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.

The difference of two numbers is 15. The larger number is 1 more than 3 times the smaller number. What are the two numbers?
loris [4]

Answer:

<em>7, 22</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Let S = the smaller number.

"The larger number is 1 more than 3 times the smaller number."

The larger number is 3S + 1.

The difference between the numbers is 15, so the larger number minus the smaller number equals 15.

3S + 1 - S = 15

2S + 1 = 15

2S = 14

S = 7

The smaller number is 7.

larger number = 3S + 1 = 3(7) + 1 = 21 + 1 = 22

The larger number is 22.

Find the area of a circle with the circumference 18(pi)
JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

D 81 pi units^2

Step-by-step explanation:

The circumference of a circle  is given by

C = 2 * pi *r

18 pi = 2 * pi *r

Divide each side by 2 * pi

18 pi / (2 pi) = 2 pi * r/ (2 pi)

9 = r

Now we can find the area.  Area is given by

A = pi r^2

A = pi * 9^2

A = 81 pi units^2
