Answer:

4.5 and 1.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the 2 numbers be x and y with x > y , then

x + y = 6 → (1)

x - y = 3 → (2)

Add the 2 equations term by term to eliminate y, that is

2x + 0 = 9

2x = 9 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = 4.5

Substitute x = 4.5 into (1) for value of y

4.5 + y = 6 ( subtract 4.5 from both sides )

y = 1.5

The 2 numbers are 4.5 and 1.5

Directed line segment AB has endpoints A(2,3) and B(8,15). Point P has coordinated P(6,11). What ratio does P partition AB into?

Vladimir79 [104]

Refer to the graph shown below. It confirms that points A, B and P are
collinear.

Calculate the length of AP (as a).
a = √[(6 - 2)² + (11 - 3)²]
= 8.9443

Calculate the length of BP (as b).
b = √[(8 - 6)² + (15 - 11)²]
= 4.4721

Calculate ratio a/b.
a/b = 8.9443/4.4721 = 2
Therefore P partitions AB in a 2:1 ratio so that AP = 2*BP.

Answer: 2:1 ratio.

A lawn mower manufacturer incurs a total of $34,816 in overhead costs and $388 per lawn mower in production costs. How many lawn

blsea [12.9K]

Let x represent the amount of lawn mowers that were manufactured

The company has to pay $34,816 before they even make any lawn mowers plus $388 per lawn mower.

((34816+388x)/x)=660
34816+388x=660x
34816=272x
X=128

Therefore, there were 128 lawn mowers manufactured
