Answer:
8 and 6
Step-by-step explanation:
Two numbers are such that their difference, their sum, and their product are to
each other as 1:7:24. Their product must equal what number?
:
Two numbers a & b
Let x = the multiplier
:
a - b = 1x
a + b = 7x
a * b = 24x
:
Add the 1st two equations
a - b = x
a + b = 7x
2a = 8x
a = 4x
or
x = .25a
:
a * b = 24x
Replace 24x; a = 4x therefore:
a * b = 6a
b = 6
;
Using the 1st equation
a - b = 1x
Replace b with 6 and x with .25a
a - 6 = .25a
a - .25a = 6
.75a = 6
a =
a = 8
:
Find the multiplier
a - b = x
8 - 6 = 2
:
Check this
a - b = 2 (1*2)
a + b = 14; (7*2)
a * b = 48: (24*2)
:
The numbers are 8 and 6; their products = 48
Answer:
7/8
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
D = 32
Step-by-step explanation:
A+ B + E = 180 since they form a triangle
14+ 45 + E = 180
E = 180 -14-45
E =121
E on either triangle is the same since they are vertical angles
C+D+E = 180 since they form a triangle
27+ D + 121 = 180
D = 180-121-27
D =32

Answer: Choice B</h3>
==========================================
Explanation:
Here's a slightly more detailed breakdown of what's going on
3x + 2y = 15 ... start with the first equation
3x + 2( y ) = 15 .... the parenthesis don't change the expression
3x + 2( 3x+5) = 15 ... replace y with 3x+5; since y = 3x+5
From here, you solve for x like you would any other single variable equation. Once you know x, you can determine y through y = 3x+5.
