One positive number is one-fifth of another number. the difference of the two numbers is 84. find the numbers.

  The numbers are:  " 21 " and " 105 " .

Explanation:

Let "x" be the "one positive number:

Let "y" be the "[an]othyer number".

x = 1/5 (y)

Given that the difference of the two number is "84" ;  and that "x" is (1/5) of  "y" ;  we determine that "x" is smaller than "y".

So, y − x = 84 .

Add "x" to each side of this equation; to solve for "y" in terms of "x" ;

y − x + x = 84 + x  ;

 y = 84 + x ;

So, we have: 

 x = (1/5) y ;

and:  y = 84 + x  ;

Substitute "(1/5)y" for "x" ;  in  "y = 84 + x " ;  to solve for "y" ;

 y = 84 + [ (1/5)y ]

Subtract  " [ (1/5)y ] " from EACH SIDE of the equation ;

y − [ (1/5)y ] = 84 + [ (1/5)y ] −  [ (1/5)y ]  ;

to get:

  [ (4/5)y ] = 84 ;

       ↔    (4y) / 5 = 84  ;
      
        →  4y = 5 * 84  ;

      Divide EACH SIDE of the equation by "4" ; 
to isolate "y" on one side of the equation; and to solve for "y" ;

           4y / 4 = (5 * 84) / 4 ;

                 y =  5 * (84/4) = 5 * 21 = 105 .

   y = 105 .

Now, plug "105" for "y" into:

Either:

 x = (1/5) y ;

OR:

  y = 84 + x  ;

to solve for "x" ;

Let us do so in BOTH equations; to see if we get the same value for "x" ; which is a method to "double check" our answer ;

Start with:

x = (1/5)y 

    →  (1/5)*(105) = 105 / 5 = 21 ;  x = 21 ; 


So, x = 21;  y = 105 .

Now, let us see if this values hold true in the other equation:

y = 84 + x ;

105 = ? 84 + 21 ?
 
105 = ? 105 ? Yes!

The numbers are:  " 21 " and  "105 " .

Answer

1 number

explanation

if we use a graphing calculator, there is only one such number that satisfies the conclusion of the mean value theorem, that is, a number such that

 

where the right-hand side is the average rate of change of f on the interval [0.5,0.75], which is the slope of the secant line.

in the attached graph, the black line is the secant line which has its slope as the average rate of change of f on [0.5,0.75], while the orange line is the only tangent line to the graph of f in the interval that satisfies the mvt conclusion.

The answer would be b ! explanation: the formula for sa *surface area * is 2×l×w+2×l×h+2×w×h so in this case l=4w=12h=8so you use the formula to solve it and it give you the answer of 352^cm^2
