We can use a system of equations in order to solve for both of the numbers. Let's start off by assigning variables to each number. The bigger number can be 'x', and the smaller number can be 'y'.
We can make two equations from the given:
x = 18 + y
("One number is 18 more than another number")
x + y = 36
("The sum of the numbers is 36")
If you look at the first equation, the variable 'x' already has a value (18 + y). We can input its value into the second equation in order to solve for y:
x + y = 36
(18 + y) + y = 36
18 + 2y = 36
2y = 18
y = 9
Input the value of 'y' into the first equation:
x = 18 + y
x = 18 + 9
x = 27
<u>One number is 27 and the other number number is 9.</u>

Answer:
D. 116
Step-by-step explanation:
V = (1/3)π(4)²(6.9)
V = 36.8π
V ≈ 115.55
<em>Note: You will NEVER use slant height to calculate the area, only to calculate the normal height if unknown. In this problem, we did not use it at all so try not to get confused!</em>

Answer:
Let x = amount of 45% antifreeze
Let y = amount of 70% antifreeze
EQUATION 1: x + y = 150 (total of 150 gallons mixed)
EQUATION 2: .45x + .75y = .55(x + y)
Simplify and solve the system of equations
Multiply second equation by 100 on both sides to remove the decimals
45x + 75y = 55(x + y)
Combine like terms
45x + 75y = 55x + 55y
45x - 55x + 75y - 55y = 0
-10x + 20y = 0
Now we have the following system of equations:
x + y = 150
-10x + 20y = 0
Multiply the first equation by -10 to get opposite coefficients for x; add the equations to eliminate x
10x + 10y = 1500
-10x + 20y = 0
------------------------------
30y = 1500
Solve for y
30y = 1500
y = 50
Since the total mixed gallons is 150, x = 150 - 50 = 100
So we need 100 gallons of the 45% antifreeze and 50 gallons of the 70% antifreeze
100(7 + 9) =
100(16) =
1600 <=
