Answer:

x= 43, y=215

Step-by-step explanation:

Let one number be x,

Let the other number be y.

x= 5y

x - y= 172

Putting value of x in equation 2.

5y - y = 172

4y = 172

y= 172/4

y= 43

Putting value of y in eq. 1

x= 5(43)

x=215.

X^2-x+12 solve using the quadratic formula

devlian [24]

The quadratic formula is $x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a}$ .

From the problem, a is 1, b is -1, and c is 12. Plugging in these values gives:

$x=\frac{-(-1(-1)\pm\sqrt{(-1)^2-4(1)(12)} }{2(1)}$

Because there is a square root of a negative number, there is no solution.

Let us assume the same be x

We know that

Total area of the sector = one-sixth of the total area of the spinner

Given that

45.1 = 1 ÷ 6 × π × r^2

r^2 = 45.1 × 6 ÷ π

r^2 = 86.1

r = 9.279
