Answer:

9 and 27

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum is 36 and one is 3 times of the other

if we let x represent smaller number then the bigger one would be 3x

x + 3x = 36

4x = 36 divide both sides by 4

x = 9 this is the smaller number, the bigger one is 3*9 = 27

Answer: 9 and 27
Explanation: x+3x=36
Combine like terms
4x=36
Divide by 4
X=9, which would be one of the numbers.

So if x = 9 we would do 3(9) which would equal 27

So the answer would be 9 and 27

Hope this helps!

A man owns 3/4 of the share of a business and sells 1/3 of his
quester [9]

Given:

A man owns 3/4 of the share of a business and sells 1/3 of his  shares for Bir 10,000.

To find:

The value of the business in Bir.

Solution:

Let x be the value of the business.

It is given that a man owns 3/4 of the share of a business and sells 1/3 of his  shares for Bir 10,000.

x\times \dfrac{3}{4}\times \dfrac{1}{3}=10000

x\times \dfrac{1}{4}=10000

Multiply both sides by 4.

x=4\times 10000

x=40000

Therefore, the value of the business is 40,000 Bir.

What are the coordinates of the circumcenter of a triangle with vertices A(0,1) B(2,1) and C(2,5)?
yawa3891 [41]
THis is a cool question.
1)  Use the point slope form to find the equation of the lines between two of the points (choose two points that when a line is drawn between them make a chord on the circle).
2)  Use the midpoint of a line equation to find the midpoint of the line, then find the slope of the line that is perpendicular at that point and write an equation for it.
 3)  Then do the same thing for the other two points that form a chord on the circle.
4)  Then set the two equations equal to each other and solve.  The point where they meet is the circumcenter.
