Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

we call the numbers x and y

then from the given data:

x+y=18

x-y=2

we add both sides of both equations

x+y+x-y=20

2x=20

x=10

we use the first equation:

10+y=18

then y=8

the larger number is x=10

Simplify the following algebraic expression:<br> 4+3 [6z - 5(6 +2z)]

$\huge\text{Hey there!}$

$\huge\text{4+3 [6z - 5(6 +2z)]}$

$\huge\text{4+(3)(6z)+(3)(-5(6+2z))}\\\\\rightarrow\huge\text{4+18z+(-30z)+(-90)}$

$\huge\text{\bf{Combine the like terms if you have any.}}$

$\huge\text{Like term \#1: 10z \& -30z}\\\\\\\huge\text{Like term \#2: 4 \& -90}$

$\huge\text{18z + (-30z) + (4 + (-90))}$

$\huge\text{18z + (-30z) = -12z}\\\\\\\huge\text{4 + (-90) = -86}$

$\boxed{\boxed{\huge\text{Answer: -12z + (-86)}}}\huge\checkmark$

In the first semester, Jonas took seven tests in his math class. His scores were: 88 81 94 84 100 94 96.

The median is the middle-most number. First we need to put the numbers in order from lowest to highest:

81 84 88 94 94 96

The easiest way to find the median is to cross out the first and last number and then continue until you reach the middle.

So cross out 81 and 96:
84 88 94 94 are left.

Cross out 84 and 94:
88 and 94 are left.

Since we are left with 2 different numbers, we need to find the average of them and that’s our median. (88 + 94)/2 = 91

91 is the median.

Evaluate: 11 + sqrt(-4 + 6×4÷3)

Murrr4er [49]

Answer:

$11+\frac{2\sqrt{15}}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$11 + \sqrt{(-4 + 6\times4\div3)} \\\\11+\sqrt{\frac{-4+6\times \:4}{3}}\\\\\sqrt{\frac{-4+6\times \:4}{3}}=\frac{2\sqrt{5}}{\sqrt{3}}\\\\=11+\frac{2\sqrt{5}}{\sqrt{3}}\\\\\frac{2\sqrt{5}}{\sqrt{3}}=\frac{2\sqrt{15}}{3}\\\\=11+\frac{2\sqrt{15}}{3}$
