This is solved by setting up two equations and then using one to answer the other.
The first step (use what is given to set up the two separate equations)
We are looking for two numbers, let us call them X and Y.
We are told that X + Y = 59
We are also told that (9 more than) 9+ (4times the smaller number) 4Y is the bigger number X
Then we combine that into 9+4Y=X
so we now have two separate equations and we can use one to solve the other. Everywhere we have X in the first equation, we will fill in with the second equation
(9+4Y) +Y = 59 [then combine like terms]
9+5Y=59 [subtract 9 from both sides]
5Y=50 [divide both sides by 5 to isolate the Y]
Y=10 [now plug this into either equation to solve for X]
9+4(10)=X
9+40=X
<u><em>49=X and 10=Y</em></u>
Uh, rude. The answer to this is that Rico should've moved the decimal to the right twice, not the left.
Answer:
49 + 9x units
Step-by-step explanation:
perimeter is sum of all the sides
Ok so basically.... 15^2= 9^2+ x^2
15*15
225= 81+x
-81. -81
144=x^2
12=X
Im pretty sure it’s right!
I used the formula A^2+B^2=C^2
