The sum of two numbers is 72 and their difference is 40. Using elimination method

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

here's what we know:

a + b = 72

a - b = 26

We can use the elimination method to solve this problem:

a + b = 72

a - b = 26

---------------

2a = 98

Divide both sides by 2:

a = 49

So we now have:

49 + b = 72

and:

49 - b = 26

Subtract 49 from both sides:

b = 23

and

-b = -23 (multiply both sides by -1) → b = 23

Answer:

The first option:yellow shirt, white trouseryellow shirt, black trousergreen shirt, white trousergreen shirt, black trouser

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the possibilities, you would see that you would have two yellow shirts and two green shirts with different trousers, so you can eliminate the bottom two. And because there will be two of each shirt with defferent trousers, it will be the same for trousers: two of each trouser will be in the possibilities. The only one that fits this description, is the first one.

yellow shirt, white trouser

yellow shirt, black trouser

green shirt, white trouser

A driver travels 120 miles, stops, and then travels ¼ of the distance she has already driven. After stopping again, the driver travels ⅔ of the distance she has already traveled. Now, the entire distance she has driven is 55 miles more than 1 ⅔ of the remaining trip. How many miles does the driver still have to travel?

Answers

Answer:

75 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that she has driven 120 miles before the first stop.

Then she drives for 1/4 of the the distance she has already driven (120 miles). One fourth of 120 is 30.

So now, she's driven for 120 + 30 miles, or 150 miles.

She drives for another 2/3 of the distance she's traveled (150 miles). Two thirds of 150 is 100.

So now, she's driven for 150 + 100 miles, or 250 miles.

What we need to find out now is how much of the trip has she traveled.

We know that the entire distance she has driven is 55 miles more than 1 ⅔ of the remaining trip. So, in other words, the distance she has traveled minus 55 is equal to 1 2/3 of the trip.

To put this in an equation:

250 - 55 = 1 2/3t

t = the whole trip

Now, we solve for t.

250 - 55 = 195

1 2/3 = 5/3

so, 195 = 5/3t

t = 325

We subtract what she has already driven to the total to get the remaining distance.

325 - 250 = 75

Step-by-step explanation:

  6 + x/5 = x/5 - 5 - 3x/10 . . . . . . . given

  60 +2x = 2x -50 -3x . . . . . . . . . multiply by 10

  x = -110/3 = -36 2/3 . . . . . .divide by the coefficient of x

There is one solution to the equation.

_____

Additional comment

The coefficient of x on the left side of the equation is not equal to the coefficient of x on the right side. When that is the case, the equation will have one solution.

When the coefficients are equal, there will be no solutions if the constants are different, and there will be infinite solutions if the constants are the same.

PLS HELP

Answers

The temperature of the substance at 10am  =  63.95°F

Let the temperature at 10 am be x

The temperature changes by −8.7°F from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m

The temperature at 1 pm = x  -  8.7

At 5 p.m., the temperature is 33.5°F

The temperature at 5 pm = 33.5°F

The temperature at 5 pm is 2/3 of what the temperature was at 1 p.m

[tex]33.5 = \frac{2}{3} ( x-8.7 )[/tex]

Solve for x

3(33.5)  =  2(x  -  8.7)

110.5  =  2x  -  17.4

2x  =  110.5 +  17.4

2x   =  127.9

x   =  127.9/2

x   =  63.95°F

The temperature of the substance at 10am =  63.95°F

Answer:

700 in^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope- intercept form:

y = mx + b, where m is the slope, b is the y-intercept

Given points:

(2, 4) and (-4, 1)

The slope is:

m = (1 - 4)/(- 4 - 2) = - 3/ - 6 = 1/2 = 0.5

Use point (2, 4) to find the value of the y-intercept:

y = mx + b4 = 0.5*2 + bb = 4 - 1b = 3

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

500 mph with a flight time of 10 hours and 20 minutes  [(20 min)*(1 h/60 min) = 0.333 hr]

Distance = Speed * Time

Time = 10.333 hours

Distance = (500 miles/hr)*(10.333 hrs) = 5166.5 miles

The pilot's numbers indicate a distance of 5167 miles, compared to Mark's number of 4944 miles.  That is a 4.3% reduction from the pilot's numbers.  Not too bad, so we might question 1) Mark's knowledge, or 2) the impact that the approach and landing speeds have of the total miles flow.

My preference would be to trust the pilot's data.  I don't know where Mark got his math education.
