how can the number 39 be divided into two parts in order that the sum of 2 upon 3 of one part and 3 upon 4 of the other part is 28

The two numbers are 15 and 24

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume the two parts be x and y

So according to the question

x + y = 39

(2 ÷ 3) x + (3 ÷ 4)y = 28

or

8x + 9y = 28 × 12

8x + 9 × (39 - x) = 336

-x = 336 - 351

x = 15

And, y = 39 - 15

= 24

Hence, the x and y is 15 and 24 respectively

answer:  

step-by-step explanation:

here x represents the height of the pole,

and, the height of the shadow of the pole is 12 feet.

also, the angle of elevation from the top of the pole is 40°,

therefore,

by the low of sine,

which is the required equation for finding the value of x,

why can't you?
