Answer:

  • The numbers are 8 and 10.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the numbers be x and y.

The sum of two numbers is eighteen:

  • x + y = 18

The total of three times the smaller and twice the larger is forty-four:

  • 3x + 2y = 44

Solve the system by substitution:

  • x = 18 - y

Substitute x and solve for y:

  • 3(18 - y) + 2y = 44
  • 54- 3y + 2y = 44
  • 54 - y = 44
  • y = 54 - 44
  • y = 10

Find x:

  • x = 18 - 10
  • x = 8

4. Entomologists introduce 20 of one
Lina20 [59]

Answer:

This number can be found using the Rule of 70, which describes the formula dt = 70 / r, where dt is the doubling time, and r is the annual rate of growth.

Step-by-step explanation:

24/6 = 4

20 x 2 = 40 x 2 = 80 x 2 = 160 x 2 = 320

20 ---> 320 in the first day.

Keep doing this equation. Multiply each day's end result by 2 four times for 9 more days.

Ugo [173]
There is a total of 66 socks on the floor the chance of picking up a red sock is 30 in 66 which is equal to a 45% chance.  After picking up one sock the chances of getting another red sock is 29 in 65 which is around 44%.  Now I believe your answer is 45% or around 30 socks.  I hope this helped but please let me know.
