Answer:

The numbers are 2 and 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

The smaller number would have been 1 less than the bigger number so that if for example the smaller number is 1 and the bigger number is 2, their difference would have been 1-2 = -1

5 is an odd number so if it were to be divided into two integers, one would be more than the other, namely 2 and 3.

If you double-check their difference:

2-3 = -1

Thus, the two numbers are 2 and 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

division property of equality is dividing both sides of an equation by the same non-zero number does not change the equation.

divide by -8 both sides of an equation.

-8x/-8=-48/-8

48/8=6

48/6=8

8*6=48

x=6

The lengths of the sides of a triangle are 3, 4, 5. Can the triangle be a right angle. Yes. No.

enyata [817]

Answer:

Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

3 , 4 & 5 are Pythagorean Triplet numbers. When lengths of a triangle's 3 sides are Pythagorean Triplet , the triangle is a right angled triangle.

The triangle will be a right angled triangle only when the hypotenuse will have length of 5 and other 2 sides will have length of either 3 or 4.

Find the value of x<br> A. 8 <br> B. 4<br> C. 19<br> D. 24

<h3>Hello There!!</h3>

Given figure is a <u>parallelogram</u>

Value of"x"

<h3><u>Solution</u></h3>

$m \angle \: A = m \angle \: C$

$2x + 35 = 5x - 22$

$\implies 2x - 5x = - 22 - 35 \div \\ \implies - 3x = - 57 \\ \\ \implies x = \frac{ - 57}{ - 3} \\ \\ \implies x = \cancel\frac{ - 57}{ - 3} \\ \\ \implies x = 19$

$\therefore \text{Option C= 19 is the correct answer}$

<h3>Hope this helps</h3>
