The larger of two positive integers is three more than the

Answer:

y=x+4

Step-by-step explanation:

So, let's start with the fact that we have two numbers. Let's call one of them "x" and the other one "y." Let's also assume that "y" is the larger number and "x" is the smaller number.

 

We know that both of them added together (the sum) gives us 74. Mathematically, that means:

 

x+y=74.

 

We also know that the larger number ("y") is 4 more than the smaller number ("x"). Another way to say this is, if you have the smaller number and add 4 more to it, you'll end up with the larger number. Mathematically, this means:

 

y=x+4

 

Since we know that y=x+4, we can put "x+4" into the first equation for "y", giving us:

 

x+(x+4)=74

 

Simplifying gives us:

 

2x+4=74

   -4   -4

  ---------

2x=70

---  ---

2    2

 

 

x=35

 

Since we now know that x=35, and we know that y=x+4, we now know that:

 

y=(35)+4

y=39

 

Now that we have both of the numbers, we should check our work to ensure it's correct:

 

Does 39+35=74?      Yes it does.

 

Is 39 (the larger of the two numbers) four more than the smallest number (35)?    Yes it is.

Two supplementary angles are in the ratio 3 1 : 5 find both angles​
Zielflug [23.3K]

The two angles are 155 degrees and 25 degrees

<h3><u>Solution:</u></h3>

Given that two supplementary angles are in ratio 31 : 5

Let the first angle be 31a

Let the second angle be 5a

Two Angles are Supplementary when they add up to 180 degrees.

Therefore,

first angle + second angle = 180 degrees

31a + 5a = 180\\\\36a = 180\\\\a = \frac{180}{36}\\\\a = 5

<em><u>Therefore the angles are:</u></em>

first angle = 31a = 31(5) = 155 degrees

second angle = 5a = 5(5) = 25 degrees

Thus the two angles are 155 degrees and 25 degrees

While taking an online pretest for an algebra class, the distance formula was displayed as shown below.
olga_2 [115]

The calculated distance would be in square units instead of linear units.

Answer: Option C.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The Distance Formula itself is actually derived from the Pythagorean Theorem. This is the formula where c is the longest side of a right triangle (also known as the hypotenuse) and a and b are the other shorter sides (known as the legs of a right triangle).

The distance formula is derived by creating a triangle and using the Pythagorean theorem to find the length of the hypotenuse. The hypotenuse of the triangle is the distance between the two points.

Parallelogram ABCD has the angle measures shown. Can you conclude that it is a rhombus, a rectangle, or a square? Explain.
Hoochie [10]

Answer:

The correct option is parallelogram ABCD is a rhombus, because the diagonal bisects two angles

Step-by-step explanation:

In triangle ABD:

∠B = ∠D

Thus AB=AC by the property of opposite sides of equal angles are equal

In triangle CBD

∠B = ∠D

Thus CB=CD  by the property of opposite sides of equal angles are equal

Thus all four sides of quadrilateral ABCD are equal  

And diagonal BD bisects the angles  

So, it is a rhombus

Therefore the correct option is  parallelogram ABCD is a rhombus, because the diagonal bisects two angles....

Neko [114]

Answer:

The correct answer is option (C)-0.245 = 2.160(0.205)

Step-by-step explanation:

Solution

Given that:

The slope = - 0.245

The size sample = n = 15

The standard error = 0.205

The confidence level = 95

The Significance level= α = (100- 95)% = 0.05

Now,

The freedom of degree = n-2 = 15 -2= 13

Thus,

the critical value = t* = 2.16

By applying Excel = [TINV (0.05, 13)]

The Margin of error is = t* (standard error)

=2.16 *0.205

= 0.4428

Because triangle XYZ is a right triangle, the side lengths must satisfy the Pythagorean theorem, a2 + b2 = c2, which in this iso
abruzzese [7]

Complete Question

Because triangle XYZ is a right triangle, the side lengths must satisfy the Pythagorean theorem, a² + b² = c², which in this isosceles triangle becomes a² + a² = c². By combining like terms, 2a² = c². Which final step will prove that the length of the hypotenuse, c, is StartRoot 2 EndRoot times the length of each leg?

a) substitute values for a and c into the original pythagorean theorem equation.

b) divide both sides of the equation by two, then determine the principal square root of both sides of the equation.

c) determine the principal square root of both sides of the equation.

d) divide both sides of the equation by 2.

Answer:

c) determine the principal square root of both sides of the equation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Pythagoras Theorem for a right angled triangles states that:

a²+ b²= c²

But for an Isosceles Triangle, where two sides of the triangle are equal, we have:

a²+ a² = c²

By combining like terms

2a² = c²

We square root both sides of the equation.

√2a² = √c

√2a² = c

The final step will prove that the length of the hypotenuse, c, is StartRoot 2 EndRoot times the length of each leg = √2a² = c is Option c.
