One number is larger than another by 9. If the greater number is increased by 10, and the lesser number is tripled, the sum of the two would be -41. What are the two numbers

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The larger number is -6, the smaller number is -15

Step-by-step explanation:

We have two numbers, a and b.

We know that one number is larger than another by 9.

Then we can write:

a = b + 9

then a is larger than b by 9 units.

If the greater number is increased by 10 (a + 10) and the lesser number is tripled (3*b), the sum of the two would be -41:

(a + 10) + 3*b = -41

So we got two equations:

a = b + 9

(a + 10) + 3*b = -41

This is a system of equations.

One way to solve this is first isolate one variable in one of the two equations:

But we can see that the variable "a" is already isolated in the first equation, so we have:

a = b + 9

now we can replace that in the other equation:

(a + 10) + 3*b = -41

(b + 9) + 10 + 3*b = -41

now we can solve this for b.

9 + b + 10 + 3b = -41

(9 + 10) + (3b + b) = -41

19 + 4b = -41

4b = -41 -19 = -60

b = -60/4 = -15

b = -15

then:

a = b + 9

a = -15 + 9 = -6

a = -6

shanika has a lamp that she wants to send to her sister in baltimore.the lamp is in the shape of a rectangular prism.it measures 14 high, 9 wide, and 3 long.she wants to buy a box so that there is 1 all around the lamp for bubble wrap

Answers

Consider we need to find the dimensions and volume of the box.

Given:

The shape of the lamp is a rectangular prism.

It measures 14 high, 9 wide, and 3 long.

There is 1 all around the lamp for bubble wrap

To find:

The dimensions and volume of the box.

Solution:

Length of the box is:

[tex]3+2=5[/tex]

Width of the box is:

[tex]9+2=11[/tex]

Height of the box is:

[tex]14+2=16[/tex]

Therefore, the dimensions of the box are 5 by 11 by 16 units.

The volume of the box is:

[tex]V=l\times w\times h[/tex]

Where, l is length, w is width and h is height.

Putting [tex]l=5, w=11, h=16[/tex], we get

[tex]V=5\times 11\times 16[/tex]

[tex]V=880[/tex]

Therefore, the volume of the box is 880 cubic units.

Answer:

9 (or 18)

9 (or 18)

18 (or 36)

Step-by-step explanation:

If B is midpoint if AC, then AB = BC

AB = 3x

BC = 5x - 6

So...

3x = 5x - 6

==> 2x = 6

==> x = 3

AB = BC = 3×3 = 5×3 - 6 = 9

And...

AC is AB + BC (since B is midpoint)

==> AC = 9 + 9 = 18

((Answer may be twice this. Picture is unclear if "3x" and "5x - 6" are values of AB and BC (resp.) or if they are midpoint values of AB and BC, in which case everything would just be doubled (except for x, the 2's would cancel out).))

Find the value of DE.

Answers

Answer:

DE = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

The 3 sides of the triangle are congruent , then

DF = EF , that is

[tex]\frac{2}{5}[/tex] a - 15 = [tex]\frac{1}{5}[/tex] a - 5 ( multiply through by 5 to clear the fractions )

2a - 75 = a - 25 ( subtract a from both sides )

a - 75 = - 25 ( add 75 to both sides )

a = 50

Then

DE = EF = [tex]\frac{1}{5}[/tex] × 50 - 5 = 10 - 5 = 5

This drawing would be a step in finding which point of concurrency in a triangle?

A. orthocenter
B. incenter
C. centroid
D. circumcenter

Answers

Answer:

A. Orthocenter

Step-by-step explanation:

In the given triangle, ΔWKS, the drawing shown the construction of a perpendicular line to the side KS that pass through the vertex W of ΔWKS. Therefore, the completed construction gives an altitude of the triangle ΔWKS

Repeating the same procedure from the vertex S to construct the perpendicular line (altitude) to the side WK, and from the vertex K the perpendicular line (altitude) to the side WS gives the three altitudes of the triangle

The point of intersection (the point of concurrency) of the three altitudes is the orthocenter of the triangle and the drawing would therefore be a step in finding the orthocenter of a triangle.

A football was kicked through the air and it followed the path h\left(s\right)=-3s^2+75h(s)=−3s 2 +75 . Let h\left(s\right)h(s) represent the height of the soccer ball after, s, seconds.

Answers

Complete question is;

A soccer ball was kicked through the air and it followed the path. Let h(s) = −3s² +75 represent the height of the soccer ball after s seconds.

Find the time at which the soccer ball hits the ground.

Answer:

s = 5 seconds.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the function;

h(s) = −3s² +75

Where;

h(s) is height at time s

s is the time taken

Now, the time at which the time at which the soccer ball hits the ground would be at h(s) = 0 since height is at 0 point.

Thus;

−3s² +75 = 0

−3s² = -75

s² = 75/3

s² = 25

s = √25

s = 5 seconds.

Two legs of a right triangle measure 23 inches and 38 inches. What is the length of the hypotenuse, to the nearest
inch?

Answers

Answer:

hypotenuse ≈ 44 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Using Pythagoras' identity

The square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares on the other two sides.

let the hypotenuse be h , then

h² = 23² + 38² = 529 + 1444 = 1973 ( take square root of both sides )

h = [tex]\sqrt{1973}[/tex] ≈ 44 inches ( to the nearest inch )

Answers

Answer:

The perimeter 9+9+15+4+3+4pi=52.56 units.

The area is 25.12+135 which is 160.12 unit squared.

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter of this shape = perimeter of half circle + perimeter of the rectangle

Diameter of circle = 15-4-3 = 8

Radius of circle = 8/2 = 4

Perimeter of the shape = (2 x pi x 4)/2 + 15 + 9 + 9 + 4 + 3

   = 4pi + 40 = 52.56 units     (substitute pi = 3.14)

Area of shape = area of half circle + area of rectangle

= (pi x 4 x 4)/2  + (9 x 15)

= 25.12 + 135 = 160.12 unit squared

There are 4 cards of each in a total of 52 cards ;

Therefore, number of winning cards ;

(4 * 3) = 12 cards

Hence,
