The sum of two numbers is 32. One number is 3 times as large as the other. What are the numbers?

Mathematics
1 answer:
ANTONII [103]2 years ago
4 0

Answer: 8, 24

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the sum of two numbers is 32 and one number is 3 times as large as the other, the first number can be defined as x and the second number is 3x.

Divide 32 by (3+1) = 4 and you get 8, which is x.

The second number is 3(8) = 24.

N is a positive integer.Explain why n(n-1) must be an even number.
V125BC [204]

Answer:

n and (n - 1) are consecutive integers.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given 'n', a positive integer.

This 'n' can either be odd or even.

Case I:

When 'n' is odd

The n - 1 is even.

Note that the product of odd and even is always even. That is the product of n and (n - 1) is even.

Case II:

when 'n' is even

Then n - 1 is odd.

Again, using the similar logic we can say that the product of n and n - 1 should be even because here, 'n - 1' is even and 'n' is odd.

Graph the system of linear inequalities, please explain the process in solving this problem so I know how to do ones similar to
Ierofanga [76]

Graph the system of linear inequalities

x + y > 5

- x - y < -5

First we graph x + y >5

Step 1: replace > symbol by = sign

x + y =5

step 2 : Solve the equation for y

x + y =5 (subtract x from both sides)

y = 5 - x

step 3: Now we make a table . plug in some number for x  and find out y

x -----> y

-1 -----> 6   ( y=5-x => y=5-(-1)= 6)

0 -----> 5   ( y=5-x => y=5-(0)= 5)

1 -----> 4   ( y=5-x => y=5-(1)= 4)

Step 4:  we graph the table.

step 5: Shade the region that satisfies our inequality

x + y > 5. Greater than symbol implies that we shade the graph to the right

Graphing second inequality - x - y < -5

All terms have negative sign . so divide all the terms by -1. When we divide an inequality by -1 its sign changes

- x - y < -5 becomes x + y > 5

Follow the same steps to graph this inequality

After dividing the second equation  by -1 , we got the same as the first equation.

So we will get the same graph

Both graphs overlaps

The graph of first and second inequality overlaps

The graph is attached below

What is the pattern in the values as the exponents increase?
nirvana33 [79]

Answer:

"Multiply the previous value by 2"

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's check the first 2 terms for all the answer choices.

1. Add \frac{1}{16} to the previous value:

\frac{1}{32}+\frac{1}{16}=\frac{3}{32}

Doesn't match.

2. Subtract \frac{1}{16} from the previous value:

\frac{1}{32}-\frac{1}{16}=-\frac{1}{32}

Doesn't match.

3. Divide the previous value by 2:

\frac{\frac{1}{32}}{2}\\=\frac{1}{32}*\frac{1}{2}=\frac{1}{64}

Doesn't match.

4. Multiply the previous value by 2:

\frac{1}{32}*2=\frac{2}{32}=\frac{1}{16}

DOES WORK!

Also, doing the same thing with all the other values would give us matching answer. So this choice is right.

Blaine buys 2 books and the total cost is $24.18 What is the constant of proportionality that
jekas [21]

Answer:

$12.09

Step-by-step explanation:

formula; Y= kx

where;    y = $24.18

               x = 2 books

               k = constant of proportionality

Step 1. Do the equation based on the data given

Y = kx

$24.18 = k2

Step 2. Compute the mathematical equation. Divide both sides by 2 to eliminate coefficient in the variable.

<u>24.18 =k2</u>

       2

k = $ 12.09 is the constant of proportionality cost in dlooars per book
