The bigger of two numbers is four more

Mathematics
1 answer:
Otrada [13]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

X=the smaller

y=the larger

The bigger of two numbers is four more than the smaller, then:

y=x+4

one more than twice the smaller is the same as the larger, then

1+2x=y

We have the following system of equations:

y=x+4

y=2x+1

We solve this system by equal values method:

x+4=2x+1

x-2x=1-4

-x=-3

x=3

We find the value of "y"now:

y=x+4

y=3+4

y=7

the values of x and y are:

x=3

y=7

Recall that two angles are complementary if the sum of their measures is 90°. Find the measures of two complementary angles if o
nirvana33 [79]

Answer:

The two angles are 69° and 21°.

Step-by-step explanation:

Write out the expression:

let x and y be two angles that are complementary and the sum of their measures is 90°

-> x° + y° = 90°

if one angle is 6º more than three times the other angle:

-> x° = 6° +3y°

Plug x = 6+3y into x° + y° = 90°

6° + 3y° + y° = 90°

Solve for y

4y° = 84°

y° = 21°

Plug y into x° + y° = 90°

x° + 21° = 90°

Solve for x°

x° = 90° - 21° = 69°

Elaine deposited $50 into a bank account. Each month, the balance in the account increases by 0.25%. The amount of money in her
kow [346]

Step-by-step Answer::

"Each month, the balance in the account increases by 0.25%"

means F(n)=F(n-1)*1.0025

"Elaine deposited $50 into a bank account."

means F(0) = 50

So a recursive definition is

F(n) = F(n-1)*1.0025  for n=1,2,3,4... and F(0)=50

Symbols used in the actual answer choices may differ, but with the same principle.

Don’t understand this anyone help I will give Brainyest thing

Answer:

  11.8 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

The triangle drawn is a right triangle. Two of its side lengths are given. The Pythagorean theorem tells you how those relate to the third side.

The sum of the squares of the legs of the triangle is equal to the square of it hypotenuse.

  (?)² + 34² = 36²

  (?)² + 1156 = 1296 . . . evaluate the squares

  (?)² = 140 . . . . . . . . . . subtract 1156 from both sides

  (?) = √140 . . . . . . . . . take the square root

  (?) ≈ 11.8 . . . meters

The length of the shadow is about 11.8 meters.
