Answer:

  • The required numbers are <u>-3 and -4 </u>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Let's</u><u> assume</u><u>:</u><u> </u>

  • First number = x
  • Second number = y

<u>According to question</u>:

One number is one less than a second number.

  • x = y - 1 __(i)

Twice the first is 10 more than 6 times the second

  • 2x = 6y + 10 __ (ii)

<u>From </u><u>equation</u><u> (i) and (ii)</u>

➙2(y - 1) = 6y + 10

➙ 2y - 2 = 6y + 10

➙ 2y - 6y = 10 + 2

➙ -4y = 12

➙ -4/12 = y

➙ y = -3

<u>Substituting</u><u> </u><u>value </u><u>of </u><u> y in eq (i)</u>

➙ x = y - 1

➙ x = -3 - 1 = -4

Hence,

  • The required numbers are <u>-3 and -4</u>

The opposite angles of a cyclic quadrilateral add up to 180 degrees , so 

2x + 3 + 4x + 3 = 180
6x = 180 - 6

6x = 174
x = 29  

so m<C = 2(29) + 1 = 59 degrees

It appears that none of your option choices are correct,, are you sure you copied them right ? I will show you how to solve this and how I got my answer.
The first step for solving this is to add the numbers in the parenthesis.
3 × 11 × 2 - 14 ÷ 7
Divide -14 by 7.
3 × 11 × 2 - 2
Divide the first 3 numbers together.
66 - 2
Subtract the numbers together to get your final answer.
64

In two or more complete sentences, describe the steps necessary in completing the following sum. In your final answer, include t
tiny-mole [99]

Answer:

First, you would need to find a common denominator for the two, in this case it would be 6 which would make the equation 3/6 + 4/6=7/6. Then in order to make the answer a mixed number you would need to divide the numerator into the demonanator,  write down the whole number answer (6 will go into 7 ONE time) then write down the "leftovers". The final answer would be 1 1/6

(i hope this helps! im not the best at explaining)
