Answer:

  • a = 22
  • b = 17

Step-by-step explanation:

Givens

Let a = the first number

Let b = the second number

Equations

a + b = 39

b = 1/2 * a + 6

Put the second equation into the first one

a + 1/2 * a +   6 = 39                  Simplify the left.

(3/2)a + 6 = 39                           Subtract 6 from both sides

(3/2)a + 6 - 6 = 39 - 6                Combine

(3/2)a = 33                                  Multiply both sides by 2

3a = 33*2

3a = 66                                       Divide both sides by 3

3a/3 = 66/3

a = 22

b = 1/2 a + 6

a = 22

b = 1/2 * 22 + 6

b = 11 + 6

b = 17

Check

22 + 17 = 39

Answer:

A traditional economy is a system that relies on customs, history, and time-honored beliefs. Tradition guides economic decisions such as production and distribution. Societies with traditional economies depend on agriculture, fishing, hunting, gathering, or some combination of them. They use barter instead of money.

Figure A is a scale image of Figure B.
Sauron [17]

<em>Greetings from Brasil...</em>

According to the statement, one figure is scaled in relation to another, so we can apply similarity to polygons.....

So

BIG/small = BIG/small

or

small/BIG = small/BIG

27/X = 45/35

OR

35/45 = X/27

27/X = 45/35

45X = 27·35

45X = 945

X = 945/45

<h2>X = 21</h2>
