A number is equal to twice a smaller number plus 3. The same number is equal to twice the sum of the smaller number and 1. How m

any solutions are possible for this situation?
* Infinitely many solutions exist because the two situations describe the same line.
* Exactly one solution exists because the situation describes two lines that have different slopes and different y-intercepts.
* No solutions exist because the situation describes two lines that have the same slope and different y-intercepts.
* Exactly one solution exists because the situation describes two lines with different slopes and the same y-intercept.

Answer:

There is no solution to this.

Explanation :

We have a double system of equation to solve. Let x be the big number and let y be the smaller number, such that y < x.

x is equal to twice a smaller number plus 3, which translates into : x = 2y + 3

and x is equal to twice the sum of the smaller number and 1 : x = 2 * (y + 1)

We get this system to solve : \left \{{{x=2y+3} \atop {x=2(y+1)}} \right. \left \{{{x-2y=3} \atop {x-2y=2}} \right.

It's either x minus 2y equals 3, or x minus 2y = 2 but it can't be both. No solutions exist because the situation describes two lines that have the same slope and different y-intercepts

WZ = 5.3 km, find the area of the shaded sectors to the nearest tenth. Please help
Jobisdone [24]

Answer: The area of the shaded sectors is 35.3 square kilometres

Step-by-step explanation: What we have here is a circle with center Z. Two sectors have been formed which are ZVW and ZYX. A careful observation reveals that both sectors are similar. If WY passes through the center Z then WY is a diameter. The same applies to VX, since it also passes through the center, therefore it is a diameter. Both lines intersect at the center, that makes both sectors to have the same radii which is  5.3 km and same applies to the angle subtended at the center of the sector, both angles are opposite angles formed by intersecting lines (opposite angles formed by intersecting lines are equal). On a straight line WY, the sum of angles ∠WZX and ∠YZX equals 180 degrees (Sum of angles on a straight line equals 180). Therefore;

WZX + YZX = 180

108 + YZX = 180

Subtract 180 from both sides of the equation

YZX = 72°

Therefore the area of shaded sector YZX is given as;

Area of a sector = (∅/360) x πr²

Where ∅ is 72, and r is 5.3

Area of sector = (72/360) x 3.14 x 5.3²

Area of sector = 0.2 x 3.14 x 28.09

Area of sector = 17.64

Having in mind that both sectors are similar (the same radii and the same central angle), the area of the shaded sectors shall be equal to 17.64 times 2 and that equals 35.28. (That is approximately 35.3 to the nearest tenth)

The area of the shaded sectors therefore is 35.3 square kilometres (35.3 km²)

Lily finished a task in 3/4 hour .Ella finished it in 4/5 of time Lily took.How long did Ella take to finish the task?
Zarrin [17]

Time taken by Ella is 0.6 hour

<u>Solution:</u>

Lily finished a task in \frac{3}{4} hour

Ella finished it in \frac{4}{5} of time Lily took

<em><u>To find: time taken by Ella to finish the task</u></em>

Let "L" be the time taken by Lily

Time taken by Lily = L = \frac{3}{4} \text{ hour }

From given statement,

Time taken by Ella to finish the task is \frac{4}{5} of time Lily took

Therefore,

Time taken by Ella = \frac{4}{5} of time taken by Lily

\text{ Time taken by Ella } = \frac{4}{5} \text{ of } \frac{3}{4}\\\\\text{ Time taken by Ella } = \frac{4}{5} \times \frac{3}{4}\\\\\text{ Time taken by Ella } = \frac{3}{5}\\\\\text{ Time taken by Ella } = 0.6

Thus time taken by Ella is 0.6 hour

Brett is 75 feet from the base of a building. he measures the angle of elevation to the top of the building and records it as 80
SashulF [63]
This is the concept of trigonometry, we are required to calculate the number of floors the building has given the information above;
# floors=[height of the building]/[height of each floor]
height of each floor=17 ft
let the height of the building be,h.
h is given by;
tan theta=opposite/adjacent
theta=80
opposite=h
adjacent=75 ft
thus
tan 80=h/75
h=75 tan 80
h=425.35 ft
thus the number of floors will be:
425.35/17
=25.020≈25 floors
