Answer:

12 & 23

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's make both of the statements into equations by making the numbers x & y.

"The sum of two numbers is 35" which means the two numbers added together is 35. So, x + y = 35.

"The smaller number is 11 less than the larger number." Let's make x the smaller number. So, x = y - 11.

So our equations are x + y = 35 and x = y -11. Using substitution, we can plug in (y-11) for x in the first equation.

y + y - 11 = 35. Combine the (y + y) to get 2y - 11 = 35. Add 11 to both sides of the equation, to get 2y = 46. Divide both sides by 2 to get y = 23.

Now, we can substitute 23 for y in either one of the equations, but I'm going to use the second one. x = y - 11 or x = 23 - 11 which equals 12.

Your 2 numbers are 12 and 23. Hope this helps! :)

You start by writing the equation; x + x - 11 = 35
Then you combine like terms giving 2x - 11 = 35
You solve for x resulting in x = 23

So the numbers would be 23 and 12

Find me equation of the circle with Center at ( 3, - 2) and radius of 3

blondinia [14]

The equation of a circle with center $(x_0,y_0)$ and radius $r$ is

$(x-x_0)^2+(y-y_0)^2=r^2$

In your case,

$x_0=3,\quad y_0=-2,\quad r=3$

Plug these values into the generic formula and you'll get your equation.

Please help!!! This is one question with a couple parts I am extremely confused and it would be amazing if you could show steps!

Dovator [93]

Answer:

a) |n -11| = 5

b) n ∈ {6, 16}

Step-by-step explanation:

The wording of the question is ridiculous. We assume it is intended to read, "The distance between two numbers is 5. One of the numbers is 11. What are the possibilities for the other?"

a) The distance between a number (n) and 11 can be written as ...

|n -11|

Since we want that distance to be 5, we can write the equation ...

|n -11| = 5

b) The equation resolves to two:

n -11 = 5
n -11 = -5

Adding 11 to both sides of both equations gives ...

n = 16
n = 6

The two solutions are n=6 and n=16.

Comment on the question statement

Increasingly, we see curriculum materials written in Pidgin English or where the words have a meaning different from that understood by a native English speaker. It appears you are the lucky recipient of such materials, so must do occasional "interpretation". Here, it seems that "two time a number" is intended to mean "two numbers."

80 points! pls help! Recall that the equation for horizontal distance h in feet of a projectile with initial velocity v0 and ini

dem82 [27]

Answer:

a) 0.6435 radians

b) 80.1 feet/sec

Step-by-step explanation:

a) 75 = (50²/16)sin(theta)cos(theta)

sin(theta)cos(theta) = 0.48

2sin(theta)cos(theta) = 0.96

sin(2theta) = 0.96

2theta = 1.287002218

Theta = 0.6435011088 radians

b) 200 = (v²/16)sin(0.75)cos(0.75)

6416.072347 = v²

v = 80.10038918 feet/sec

The pie chart represents the proportions of how Henry spent the £720 he took on holiday.

Oksana_A [137]

Answer:

£124

Step-by-step explanation:

first of all, you're meant to add all the figures given on the pie chart, which is 29+137+58+62+74 and that will give you a total of 360 degrees

so, you say 360 degrees is equal to the total amount of money he spent, which is £720, what about 62 degrees

therefore, you just do (62×720)÷360

that will give you £124

If line n bisects segment CE, find the positive value of x. A.6 B.10 C.15 D.9

givi [52]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

D. 9

Step-by-step explanation:

The segment lengths are equal, so ...

x^2 = 90-x

x^2 +x -90 = 0 . . . . . . add x-90 to put in standard form

(x +10)(x -9) = 0 . . . . . factor

The solutions are the values of x that make the factors zero: -10, 9.

The positive value of x is 9.
