Make an equation system based on the problem
eg. a is the first number and b is the seond number
An equation for "<span>The sum of two numbers is 53" is
</span>⇒ a + b = 53
An equation for "<span>twice the first number minus three times the second number is 26"
</span>⇒ 2a - 3b = 26
<span>
Solve the equations by elimination and subtitution method
Eliminate a to find the value of b
a + b = 53   (multiplied by 2)
2a - 3b = 26
--------------------------------------
2a + 2b = 106
2a -  3b = 26
------------------- - (substract)
       5b = 80
         b = 80/5
         b = 16

Subtitute the value of b to one of the equations
a + b = 53
a + 16 = 53
a = 53 - 16
a = 37

The numbers are 16 and 37</span>

Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

A. With each 9s fact you add another 9, which means you go straight down a row and back one space. This creates a diagonal pattern in the grid.

Serhud [2]

The statement that is true about the polygons is: the opposite angles of the rectangle are supplementary, therefore, a circle can be circumscribed about the rectangle.

<h3>What is a Circumscribed Quadrilateral?</h3>

An circumscribed quadrilateral is a quadrilateral whose four side lie tangent to the circumference of a circle. The opposite angles in an inscribed quadrilateral are supplementary, that is, when added together, their sum equals 180 degrees.

From the two figures given, the opposite angles of the rectangle are supplementary, therefore, a circle can be circumscribed about the rectangle. (Option D).
