Answer:

5

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem, we need to set up a system of equations. Let x represent the larger number and y represent the smaller number.

x + y = 17

x - y = 7

We can solve this system by adding them together. The y cancels out because y + (-y) = 0. After that, we solve for x

2x = 24          

x = 12              (Divide both sides by 2)

Now that we know the value of x, we can substitute it into one of our original equations to solve for y.

12 + y = 17      

y = 5                (Subtract 12 from both sides)

So, the smaller number is 5.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Remark

The measurement of the arc is 3Pi

that represents 108 / 360 of the circle.

Equation

108/350 2 * pi * R = 3* pi

Solution                            

Pi is on both sides of the equation. They both cancel.

108/360 = 0.3

0.3 * 2 * R = 3

0.6 * R = 3

R = 3/0.6

R = 5

Gekata [30.6K]

Draw a graph of the temperatures; if the points form a straight line, then the temperatures vary directly , Option B is the correct answer.

<h3>What is Direct Variation ?</h3>

When a quantity of one variable is increased and the value of the other also increases then they are said to be in direct variation.

For the data to be in direct variation

Draw a graph of the temperatures; if the points form a straight line, then the temperatures vary directly.

The points in any linear equation can only fluctuate directly, therefore all points will lie on the same line.

Option B is the correct answer.
