Answer:

6 and 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the numbers are x and y.

<u>Given:</u>

3x + y = 22
y = 2x - 8

<u>Solve by substitution:</u>

3x + 2x - 8 = 22
5x = 22 + 8
5x = 30
x = 6

<u>Find y:</u>

y = 2*6 - 8 = 12 - 8 = 4

Can a triangle be drawn with the following angle measures? Why or why not?<br> 50°, 70°, 70°

Viefleur [7K]

no, the 3 angles of a triangle need to equal 180 degrees

70 +70 +50 = 190 degrees so it cant be a triangle.

Consider M, N, and P. collinear points on MP.

Kobotan [32]

Answer:

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

There are three possible cases:

1. Point N lies between M and P, then MN + NP = MP. Consider needed difference:

$\dfrac{MN}{NP}-\dfrac{MN}{MP}=\dfrac{MN}{NP}-\dfrac{MN}{MN+NP}=\dfrac{MN(MN+NP)-MN\cdot NP}{NP(MN+NP)}=\\ \\=\dfrac{MN^2+MN\cdot NP-MN\cdot NP}{NP(MN+NP)}=\dfrac{MN^2}{NP(MN+NP)}$

2. Point N lies to the right from point P, then MP + PN = MN. Consider needed difference:

$\dfrac{MN}{NP}-\dfrac{MN}{MP}=\dfrac{MP+PN}{NP}-\dfrac{MP+PN}{MP}=\dfrac{MP}{NP}+1-1-\dfrac{NP}{MP}=\dfrac{MP^2-NP^2}{NP\cdot MP}$

3. Point N lies to the left from point M, then NM + MP = NP. Consider needed difference:

$\dfrac{MN}{NP}-\dfrac{MN}{MP}=\dfrac{MN}{MN+MP}-\dfrac{MN}{MP}=\dfrac{MN\cdot MP-MN(MN+MP)}{MP(MN+MP)}=\\ \\=\dfrac{MN\cdot MP-MN^2-MN\cdot MP}{MP(MN+MP)}=\dfrac{-MN^2}{MP(MN+MP)}$

Plzzz help asap this is due and plz tell me why and how to do this

Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

F - Irrational, -13.8
Because the negative sign is not inside of the radical, we can tell that the number is being multiplied by the negative. Thus, do the radical equation first, get the answer 13.8202... and multiply by -1 to get the answer. Also, it is irrational because it is not a perfect square.

Karen, James, Frank, and Dan were left an inheritance by their late grandfather. If Karen receives one-eighth of the inheritance

pashok25 [27]

Count what fraction receive Karen, James and Frank in total:

since

Karen receives - $\frac{1}{8}$ ,

James receives - $\frac{1}{4}=\frac{2}{8}$ ,

Frank receives - $\frac{3}{8}$ ,

then $\frac{1}{8} +\frac{2}{8} +\frac{3}{8} =\frac{1+2+3}{8}=\frac{6}{8} =\frac{2\cdot 3}{2\cdot 4} =\frac{3}{4}$ .

All inheritance is the whole 1, then for Dan remains $1-\frac{3}{4} =\frac{4}{4} -\frac{3}{4} =\frac{4-3}{4} =\frac{1}{4}$ .

Answer: Dan receives one quarter of the inheritance.
