Answer:

<u><em>The two numbers are 56 and 23.</em></u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the two numbers be A and B.

We are told that:

A+B = 79, and

2)  3A + 5B = 283

Rearrange the first expression to isolate A:

A = 79-B

Now use this value of B in the second expression:

3A + 5B = 283

3(79-B) + 5B = 283

237-3B + 5B = 283

2B = 46

B = 23

If B=23, we can find A from (1):  

A+B = 79

A+23 = 79

A = 56

<u>CHECK:</u>

Does A+B = 79?

56 + 23 = 79?  <u><em>YES</em></u>

Does 3A + 5B = 283?

  3(56) + 5(23) = 283?

 168 + 115 = 283?  <u><em>YES</em></u>

sweet [91]
Area of the base = 1/2 * 10 *  5sqrt3 =  25 sqrt3

Total surface area = 25 sqrt3 + 3 *  1/2 * 10 * slant height = 214.5

25 sqrt3 + 15h = 214.5
15h = 214.5 - 25 sqrt3

h =   (214.5 - 25sqrt3() / 15

=  11.41 cm to nearest hundredth

  • you will need 2 busses to only transport the boys.
  • Mark is at (1 + 5/6) miles of his house.
<h3>How many buses would it take to carry only the boys?</h3>

We know that there are (3 + 1/2) groups, such that each group fill one bus.

2/5 of the students are boys, then the number of groups that we can make only with boys is:

(2/5)*(3 + 1/2) = 6/5 + 1/5 = 7/5 = 5/5 + 2/5 = 1 + 2/5

Then you can make one and a little less than a half of a group, which means that you need 1 and 2/5 of a buss to transport the boys, rounding that to the a whole number, you will need 2 busses to only transport the boys.

<h3>How far is Mark from his house?</h3>

The original distance is:

D = (2 + 3/4) miles.

But Mark only covers 2/3 of that distance, then we have:

d = (2/3)*D = (2/3)*(2 + 3/4) miles = (4/3 + 2/4) miles

d = (4/3 + 1/2) miles = (8/6 + 3/6) miles = (1 + 5/6) miles

Mark is at (1 + 5/6) miles of his house.
