Answer:

11

Step-by-step explanation:

so we just make a system of equations:

x+y=36

say that x is the larger and y is the smaller

x-3=2y

so we can combine the equations and solve for x and y

re-arrange x-3=2y to be x=2y+3

x+y=36

x=2y+3

insert the value for x into x into x+y=36

2y+3+y=36

3y+3=36

y=11

now insert that back into x+y=36

11+x=36

x=25

Out of the two numbers x and y, 11 is the smaller number

Hope that helps :)

Given the right triangle below, what is the length of the hypotenuse
Leviafan [203]

Answer:

5 sqrt(10) = c

Step-by-step explanation:

Since this is a right triangle, we can use the Pythagorean theorem

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

9^2 + 13^2 = c^2

81 + 169 = c^2

250 = c^2

Take the square root of each side

sqrt(250) = c

sqrt(25) sqrt(10) = c

5 sqrt(10) = c

The local zoo is filling two water tanks for the elephant exhibit. One water tank contains 30 gal of water and is filled at a co
kakasveta [241]
You first have to set up the two equations. Y is equal to the total number of gallons in a tank and x is equal to the number of hours the tanks are filling.

Since the two equations both equal y I can make them equal each other. I then solved for x as you see and got -4.

Once I found my x value I now needed to find my y. You only needed to chose one equation to solve for y, so I decided to do the first one. I plugged in -4 where my x value currently was and solved for y. I got 2.
