Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the larger number.

Let y be the smaller number.

x - y = 5

x^2 - y^2 = 65                   Factor the left.

(x - y)(x + y) = 65               Substitute the first equation into this equation.

5 *(x + y) = 65                   Divide both sides by 5

x + y = 65/5

x + y = 13

Now list the two binomials one after the other.

x + y = 13

x - y =  5                           Add

2x = 18                             Divide by 2

2x/2 = 18/2

x = 9

x + y = 13                          Substitute 9 for x

9 + y = 13                          Subtract 9 from both sides.

y =  13 - 9

y = 4

Answer

  • <em>x = 9</em>
  • <em>y = 4 </em>

marysya [2.9K]

Answer:

Option A, 11.7

Step-by-step explanation:

To find height,

tan 68 = 26/h

h = 26/tan(68)

to find x

tan(42) = h/x

x = h/tan(42)

x = 11.7 (rounded to the nearest tenth)

A set of weights includes a 10 lb barbell and 8 pairs of weight plates. Each pairof plates weighs 20lbs. If x pairs of plates ar
Leni [432]

It is given that the weight of the barbel is given by:

f(x)=20x+10

It says that there are eight pair of weights so x can take values from 0 to 8 and f(x) can take the values as follows:

\begin{gathered} x=0,f(x)=10 \\ x=1,f(x)=30 \\ x=2,f(x)=50 \\ x=3,f(x)=70 \\ x=4,f(x)=90 \\ x=5,f(x)=110 \\ x=6,f(x)=130 \\ x=7,f(x)=150 \\ x=8,f(x)=170 \end{gathered}

So the range is:

\mleft\lbrace10,30,50,70,90,110,130,150,170\mright\rbrace

Option B is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

f(1)=8

f(2)= 2(8) = 16

f(3) = 2(16) = 32

A baseball player’s batting average is calculated by dividing the number of times a player got a hit by the total number of time
natita [175]

Answer: B > 40

Step-by-step explanation:

The batting average is usually represented not as a percentage (i.e. 32.0%), but instead as a decimal number with three places after the decimal. A batting average of 1.000 means that the player gets a hit every time he comes to bat, and an average of .000 means the player has no hits.

If after the first 10 games of the season, Samuel had 12 hits off of 33 at bats.

The battling average = 12/33

= 0. 3636

If in a row without a hit and the batting average dropping below 0.300, then the likely bats will be

12/B > 0.300

B > 12/0.300

B > 40 bats

Where B represents the number of bats.
