Answer:

let the larger and  smaller number be x and y respectively

first condition

x + y = 49

second condition

3x = 2y+97

3x-2y =97

Multiplying first condition by two and adding both equations

2x + 2y = 98

<u>3x -2y = 97</u>

5x =  195

x = 195/5 = 39

putting the value of x in

x + y = 49

y = 49 -39 = 10

again

While traveling to his grandma for his George fell asleep a fifth of the way through the journey when he awoke he still had to t
jeyben [28]

Answer:

<u>George fell asleep when he had traveled 1/5 of the total distance, slept 3/5 of the distance and he awoke up when he's still 1/5 away from his grandma</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's review the information given to us to answer the question correctly:

George fell asleep a fifth of the way

He awoke up when he still had to travel a quarter of the distance that he had traveled while sleeping

2. For what part of the journey had he been asleep?

George fell asleep a fifth of the way: 1/5 of the total distance traveled and 4/5 of the distance away from his grandma

When he awoke up = 1/4 * 4/5 = 1/5

He had been asleep = 5/5 - 1/5 -1/5 = 3/5

<u>It means George fell asleep when he had traveled 1/5 of the total distance, slept 3/5 of the distance and he awoke up when he's still 1/5 away from his grandma</u>

aivan3 [116]

Answer:

40

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the method of prime factors

8 = 2 × 2 × 2 = 2³

2 = 2

5 = 5

Then LCM = 2³ × 5 = 8 × 5 = 40

If y=1/4 when x=5, find y when x=7, given that y directly with x
mariarad [96]

Answer:

7/20

Step-by-step explanation:

Since y varies directly with x, the ratio of y to x is proportional.

... y / 7 = (1/4)/(5)

... y / 7 = 1 / 20 . . . . simplify

... y = 7/20 . . . . . multiply by 7

The vertices of a triangle are p(3,7) Q(7,-6) R(-8,7). Name the vertices of the image reflected across the x axis
pantera1 [17]

Answer:

<em>P'(3,-7) Q'(7,6) R'(-8,-7).</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Reflection across the x-axis</u>

Given a point P(x,y), its reflection across the x-axis will map to point P'(x,-y), i.e., the y-coordinate gets inverted.

We are given the vertices of a triangle P(3,7) Q(7,-6) R(-8,7). The vertices of the image reflected across the x-axis are:

P'(3,-7) Q'(7,6) R'(-8,-7).

The new triangle has vertices P'Q'R'.

Find the value of X.​
miv72 [106K]

Answer:

x = 8√2 units

Step-by-step explanation:

On a 45-45-90 triangle,<em> the ratio between one of the legs </em>(both are congruent)<em> and the hypotenuse is 1 : √2</em> (Improper but it still sends the message). That means the hypotenuse is √2 times as long as a leg.

x = 8 × √2

x = 8√2 units
