Answer:

The numbers are -11 and -9.

Step-by-step explanation:

The two numbers are x and y.

x = y - 2

2y = 5x + 37

2y = 5(y - 2) + 37

2y = 5y - 10 + 37

3y = - 27

y = -9

x = - 11

The surface area of a triangular pyramid is 1,936 inches squared. If the dimensions are multiplied by 1/4, what will be the new

rosijanka [135]

Answer:

121 inches squared

Step-by-step explanation:

If the dimensions are multiplied by 1/4, we have that the surface area will by multiplied by (1/4)^2, as the dimensions are in inches and the surface area is in inches squared.

So, If the original surface area is 1936 inches squared, the new surface area will be:

New surface area = 1936 * (1/4)^2 = 1936 / 16 = 121 inches squared.

Solve -x > 8 or -x < 4.

nevsk [136]

Answer:

x<−8 or x>−4

Step-by-step explanation:

−x>8 or −x<4

We know either −x>8 or −x<4

−x>8(Possibility 1)

−x

−1

(Divide both sides by -1)

x<−8

−x<4(Possibility 2)

−x

−1

(Divide both sides by -1)

x>−4

How many 1/4 litre bottles can be filled from a jug containing 8 litres of water?

frosja888 [35]

Answer:

32 bottles

Step-by-step explanation:

In this scenario, we have to divide 8 by 1/4 to see how many of those 1/4-liter bottles can be filled with 8 liters of water. So, let's go ahead and see how this looks mathematically, then we'll start simplifying:

$\frac{8}{1}$ ÷ $\frac{1}{4}$

Dividing by a fraction is the same as multiplying by that same fraction's reciprocal, so we can rearrange our math to make things easier.

$\frac{8}{1}$ × $\frac{4}{1}$

Now, we can multiply the numerators and the denominators.

$\frac{8}{1}$ × $\frac{4}{1}$ $= \frac{32}{1} =32$

So 32 of those 1/4 liter bottles can be filled from a jug containing 8 liters of water. Hopefully this was helpful! If anything was confusing or didn't make sense, let me know so I can make things clearer. :)
