Let's call this unknown number, x.
So we know that 4 and this number, x, are going to be added together and 6 is going to be subtracted from it. Therefore we can write the expression:
Since we cannot proceed any further without knowing either the value of x or what the expression equals, this is as simplified as it can be.
Answer:
6.15.
Step-by-step explanation:
3.75 + 2 2/5
= 3.75 + 2.40
= 6.15.
The intersection point is only one. Then the equation of the line is tangent to the circle at point (1, -2).
<h3>What is a circle?</h3>
It is a locus of a point drawn an equidistant from the center. The distance from the center to the circumference is called the radius of the circle.
Prove algebraically that the straight line with equation x = 2y + 5 is a tangent to the circle with equation x² + y² = 5.
x = 2y + 5 ...1
x² + y² = 5 ...2
If the intersection of the point of the circle and line is one. Then the line is tangent to the circle.
Then from equations 1 and 2, we have
(2y + 5)² + y² = 5
4y² + 25 + 20y + y² - 5 = 0
5y² + 20y + 20 = 0
5y² + 10y + 10y + 20 = 0
5y (y + 2) + 10(y + 2) = 0
(5y + 10)(y + 2) = 0
y = -2, -2
Then the value of y is unique then the value of x will be unique.
The value of x will be
x = 2(-2) + 5
x = -4 + 5
x = 1
The intersection point is only one. Then the equation of the line is tangent to the circle at point (1, -2).

Answer: 128
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
<u>The numbers are 40 and 49</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
Smaller number = x
Larger number = y
Let's write our system of equations:
x + y = 89
3x = y + 71
***************************
x = 89 - y
Substituting x in the 2nd equation and solving for y:
3 (89 - y) = y + 71
267 - 3y = y + 71
-3y - y = 71 - 267 (Like terms)
-4y = - 196
y = -196/-4
y = 49
Solving for x in the 1st equation:
x + y = 89
x + 49 = 89
x = 89 - 49
x = 40
<u>The numbers are 40 and 49</u>
