Find the value of two numbers if their sum is 21 and their difference is 5

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: x = 13 and y = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Two numbers must add to 21. We don't know them yet, so let's just use a placeholder for both of them for now.

x + y = 21

Their difference is five, meaning that if we subtract one from the other, we get five. Again, we don't know the numbers yet, so we'll add a placeholder for now.

x - y = 5

We can now solve a system of equations for x.

x = y + 5

y + 5 + y = 21

2y + 5 = 21

2y = 16

y = 8

x - 8 = 5

x = 13

So x = 13 and y = 8

An engineer is using computer-aided design (CAD) software to design a component for a space shuttle. The scale of the drawing is 1 cm : 60 in. The actual length of the component is 12.75 feet. What is the length of the component in the drawing?

Answers

Answer:  2.55 cm

============================================================

Work Shown

1 foot = 12 inches

12.75 ft = 12.75*12 inches = 153 inches

The scale of 1 cm : 60 in allows us to form the proportion below

(1 cm)/(60 in) = (x cm)/(153 in)

1/60 = x/153

1*153 = 60*x ..... cross multiply

153 = 60x

60x = 153

x = 153/60

x = 2.55

The length of the component in the drawing is 2.55 cm

Side note: This is equivalent to 25.5 mm since 1 cm = 10 mm (ie you multiply by 10 to go from cm to mm).

Find the perimeter of rectangle LINT.

Answers

Answer:

[tex]P = 22.75[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

See attachment for rectangle LINT

Required

Calculate its perimeter

From the attachment:

Considering triangle LYT, we apply Pythagoras theorem.

[tex]LT^2 = LY^2 + TY^2[/tex]

Where:

[tex]LY = 5.2[/tex]

[tex]TY = 3.9[/tex]

The formula becomes:

[tex]LT^2 = 5.2^2 + 3.9^2[/tex]

[tex]LT^2 = 42.25[/tex]

Take positive square root of both sides

[tex]LT = \sqrt{42.25[/tex]

[tex]LT = 6.5[/tex]

Next, we calculate the length of NT.

By comparing triangles LYT and NYT

We make use of the following equivalent ratios to solve for NT

[tex]NT:TY = LT:LY[/tex]

[tex]NT : 3.9 = 6.5 : 5.2[/tex]

Convert to fractions

[tex]\frac{NT}{3.9} = \frac{6.5}{5.2}[/tex]

Make NT, the subject:

[tex]NT = \frac{6.5}{5.2}*3.9[/tex]

[tex]NT = \frac{6.5*3.9}{5.2}[/tex]

[tex]NT = \frac{25.35}{5.2}[/tex]

[tex]NT = 4.875[/tex]

The perimeter (P) is then calculated as:

[tex]P = NT + LT + LI + NI[/tex]

Where

[tex]NT = LI[/tex] and [tex]LT = NI[/tex] -- opposite sides of rectangle.

So:

[tex]P = NT + NT + LT + LT[/tex]

[tex]P = 2NT + 2LT[/tex]

Substitute values for NT and LT

[tex]P = 2*4.875 + 2*6.5[/tex]

[tex]P = 9.75 + 13.0[/tex]

[tex]P = 22.75[/tex]

Hence, the perimeter is 22.75 units

A map has the scale 1cm:40mi. What is the distance between two towns that are 3.3cm apart on the map?

Answers

Answer:

132 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

scale 1cm:40mi.

this means that

1 cm on the map is equal to 40 miles on

Hence if 1cm rep 40 miles

              3.3cm will rep x

cross multiply

x= 3.3*40

x=132 miles

1 The length of a rectangle is 10 inches, and the
width is represented by 3x. Which best
represents an equation and solution for x if the
area of the rectangle is 40 square inches?
A 10(3x) = 40; X = 4
B 30x = 40; x = 1;
C 3x = 40; x = 13
D 3x + 10 = 40; X = 10

Answers

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the area of a rectangle, it is length times width (10*3x), and if it equals 40, you could just write that after the equation, and then find out that "x" would equal [tex]\frac{4}{3}[/tex]

Answer:

30x = 40 ; x1  

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]A^{}[/tex] = [tex]l^{}[/tex] [tex]w^{}[/tex]

[tex]l^{}[/tex] = 10 inch.

[tex]w^{}[/tex] = 3x

10(3x) = 40

30x = 40 ; x = [tex]1\frac{1}{3}[/tex] ≈ 1

Less than: 1/2inch,

Equal to: 1/2inch

Greater than: 1/2inch

Answer:

Less than: 1/2inch---> 1/8 in

Equal to: 1/2inch ---> 8/16 in

Greater than: 1/2inch ---> 5/8in, 9/16in, 15/16in, 5/6in

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Sizes: 1/8in, 5/8in, 8/16in, 9/16in, 15/16in, 5/6in

Required

Match the size with the correct inequalities

Convert 1/2in to decimal

[tex]\frac{1}{2}\ in = 0.5\ in[/tex]

Next, we convert each size to decimal and compare the decimal equivalent to 0.5in

Convert 1/8in to decimal

[tex]\frac{1}{8}\ in = 0.125\ in[/tex]

0.125 is less than 0.5in

Convert 5/8in to decimal

[tex]\frac{5}{8}\ in = 0.625\ in[/tex]

0.625 is greater than 0.5in

Convert 8/16in to decimal

[tex]\frac{8}{16}\ in = 0.5\ in[/tex]

0.5 is equal to 0.5in

Convert 9/16in to decimal

[tex]\frac{9}{16}\ in = 0.5625\ in[/tex]

0.5625 is greater than 0.5in

Convert 15/16in to decimal

[tex]\frac{15}{16}\ in = 0.9375\ in[/tex]

0.9375 is greater than 0.5in

Convert 5/6in to decimal

[tex]\frac{5}{6}\ in = 0.833\ in[/tex]

0.833 is greater than 0.5in

So, we have:

Less than: 1/2inch---> 1/8 in

Equal to: 1/2inch ---> 8/16 in

Greater than: 1/2inch ---> 5/8in, 9/16in, 15/16in, 5/6in

lena purchased a prepaid phone card for $20. long distance call cost 18 cents a minute using this card. Lena used her cared only once to make a libg distance call. if the remaining credit on her card is $13.34, how many minutes did her call last?

Answers

Answer:

37 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

We start by finding the difference between the original amount and what is left

Mathematically, that will be;

20-13.34 = 6.66

To

cents that will be 6.66 * 100 = 666 cents

We now divide by the amount per minute

The amount per minute is 18 cents

Thus, the number of minutes will

be 666/18 = 37

The formula for slope is:

[tex]m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]

where (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) are the points the line passes through.

The line passes through (3,14) and (7,9). Therefore,
