Answer:

56 and 43

Step-by-step explanation:

(x+13)+x = 99

2x+13 = 99

2x = 99-13

2x = 86

x = 86/2

x = 43

Smaller number = 43

Larger number is 56

Check

56-43 = 13

56+43 = 99

Answer:

The two numbers are 43 and 56.

Step-by-step explanation:

Represent the numbers by x and y.

Then, according to the given information,

x + y = 99 and x - y = 13

Rewrite these two equations in a column:

x + y = 99

x - y = 13

Solve this system of linear equations through elimination by addition/subtraction:

x + y = 99

x - y = 13

---------------

2x = 112, so that x = 56

Next, find y by substituting 56 for x in either of the two equations:

56 - y = 13

This reduces to 43 - y = 0, or y = 43

The two numbers are 43 and 56.

Check: Is the difference between 56 and 43 equal to 13? YES

Is the sum of the numbers 56 and 43 equal to 99? YES

A) 7.7 ft b) 13.4 ft c) 10.3 ft d) 12.3 ft

ELEN [110]

Answer:

D. 12.3 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem requires the use of trigonometric ratios. This one specifically uses the cosine ratio as it provides the hypotenuse and is asking for the side that is adjacent to the angle.

cos(40°)=a/16

cos(40°)×16=a/16×16

cos(40°)×16=a

a=12.256 ft

The length of side a is D. 12.3 ft.

ivanzaharov [21]

Answer:

y=-4x+3

Step-by-step explanation:

The slopes of 2 parallel lines will always be the same, so we plug in the ordered pair to find the y intercept

What is the sum of the measures of the exterior angles in a nonagon? explain

DedPeter [7]

The sum of the measures of all exterior angle in a polygon with n sides is always $360^{\circ}$ .

Nonagon is a polygon with 9 sides. If this nonagon is regular or equiangular, then all interior angle are congruent, and therefore all exterior angles are congruent. Then the measure of each exterior angle is $\dfrac{360^{\circ}}{9} =40^{\circ}$ .

RSTUV - EABCD. Find AE.

larisa86 [58]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

AE = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all, we need to find corresponding sides that are defined in both figures. The table below shows the given values.

From the table, we can write the proportion ...

EA/RS = BC/TU . . . corresponding sides are proportional

EA/6 = 4/8 . . . . . . . substitute given lengths

EA = 6(4/8) = 3

The length of AE is 3 units.
