Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the larger number = x

Smaller number = y

6x + 7y = 114 ------------(I)

10x - 9y = 66 ------------(II)

Multiply equation (I) by 9 and multiply the equation (II) by 7. After that add the two equations. So that, y will be eliminated and we can find the value of x

         (1)*9        54x + 63y = 1026

         (II)*7        <u>70x - 63y  =  462</u>    {Now add}

                        124x           = 1488   {Divide both sides by 124}

                                        x = 1488/124

x = 12

Plugin x =  12 in any of the equation. Here, We are substituting in  equation (I)

6*12 + 7y = 114

  72 + 7y =114

         7y = 114 - 72

         7y = 42

          y = 42/7

y = 6

The numbers are 12 , 6

Draw an angle in standard position whose terminal side contains the point
kvasek [131]

Answer:

The distance of the point from the origin = 9.29 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given point:

(7,-6)

The angle lies such that the terminal side of the angle contains the given point.

To draw the angle and find the distance from the origin to the given point.

Solution:

The terminal side of the angle is where the angle ends with the initial side being the positive side of the x-axis.

So, we can plot the point (7,-6) by moving 7 units on the x-axis horizontally and -6 units on the y-axis vertically.

We can find the distance of the point from the origin by find the hypotenuse of the triangle formed.

Applying Pythagorean theorem.

Hypotenuse^2=Shorter\ Leg^2+Shortest\ Leg^2

Hypotenuse^2 = (7)^2+(-6)^2

Hypotenuse^2=49+36\\Hypotenuse^2=85

Taking square root both sides :

\sqrt{Hypotenuse^2}=\sqrt{85}

Hypotenuse = 9.29\ units

Thus, the distance of the point from the origin = 9.29 units.

The figure is shown below.

Jenny thinks that the expression below is equal to x²-4. If you agree, show that she is correct. If you disagree, show that she
sergiy2304 [10]

Answer:

Jenny is wrong the correct answer is x²+ 4 - 4 x.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that

(x-2)³∕x-2

(x-2)³∕(x-2) =(x-2) (x-2)²∕(x-2)

(x-2)³∕(x-2) = (x-2)²

As we know that

(a-b)² = a²+b² - 2 ab

So

(x-2)² = x²+ 2² - 2 ˣ 2 ˣ x =  x²+ 4 - 4 x

(x-2)² =  x²+ 4 - 4 x

It means that

(x-2)³∕(x-2) = (x-2)² =  x²+ 4 - 4 x

So Jenny is wrong the correct answer is x²+ 4 - 4 x.

Which image shows a plane slicing a double-napped cone to produce a hyperbola?<br><br> Answer is D
Butoxors [25]

The <u>second image</u> in the diagram is a hyperbola. As can be seen, the plane cutting the cone can be at any angle but never equal to the slant angle of the cone. This has a very important implication. The plane cuts both cones of the double-napped cone. The third double-napped cone of Figure 3 shows two hyperbolas.

Solve 4a+3=11 plz step by step
gavmur [86]
4a + 3 = 11...subtract 3 from both sides
4a + 3 - 3 = 11 - 3...simplify
4a = 8 ....divide both sides by 4
(4/4)a = 8/4...simplify
1a, or just a = 2 <==
