Let a be the bigger number and b the smaller.
So a-b=44
and a^2+b=376376
(44+b)^2+b=376376
b^2+89b -374440=0
Solve for b and you get a. Are you sure it is 376376 not 376?
2 cakes - Theresa's and Joe's
Theresa's cake had 6 pieces after she cut it. (2 times the size of Joe's pieces)
Joe's cake had 12 pieces after he cut it. (1/2 the size of Theresa's pieces)
We know that 8/12ths of ONE cake were eaten and that Joe ate 2 of his pieces.
We want to know how many pieces Theresa ate of her cake. Keeping in mind that her pieces are equal to 2 of Joe's pieces we can solve this question.
8/12 eaten total
if 2/12 by Joe
then 8-2 = 6, 6/12 by Theresa
(BUT: Theresa's pieces were twice the size of Joe's so we will divide by 2)
6/12 = 3/6
Answer: Theresa ate 3 pieces of her cake
Answer:
9 to 17
Step-by-step explanation:
If you divide 21 by 3 you get 9. So divide 51 by 3 you get 17.

Let the cost for renting be y and the number of hours be x
then:
y=kx
where:
k is the constant of proportionality
k=y/x
y=$32.5 when x=5 hours
thus;
k=32.5/5
k=6.5
hence the equation is:
y=6.5x
thus the value of y when x=8 hours will be:
y=6.5(8)=$52
Answer:'
<span>A y = $6.5x, y = $52.00</span>
