the sum of two numbers is 60. the larger number is 12 more than the smaller number. what is the number?

1 answer:

5 0

The larger number is: 36
The smaller number is: 24

Firstly, if a number is 12 more than the other, that means that the difference between the two numbers is 12

If you divide 60 by 2, you get two 30's. Then, if you add 6 to one of the 30's and then subtract 6 to the other 30, resulting in 36 and 24, you get set of numbers which equal 60 and also have a difference of 12.

Zaid and Matias, two farmers, constructed a 792 foot fence around their very large garden. Zaid agreed to construct 20% more of

likoan [24]

Answer:

$1.2x +x =792$

$2.2x =792$

And we got finally:

$x =\frac{792}{2.2}= 360 ft$

And the amount for Zaid would be 1.2*360 ft= 432ft

So then Zaid construc 432 ft and Matias 360 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we know that Zaid and Matias, two farmers, constructed a 792 foot fence around their very large garden so then the total is represented by 792 ft

We also know that Zaid agreed to construct 20% more of the fence than Matias did. Let's assume that the amount that construct by Matias was x then the amount constructed by Zaid would be 1.2 x representing 20% more than Matias and we can set up the following equation:

$1.2x +x =792$

$2.2x =792$

And we got finally:

$x =\frac{792}{2.2}= 360 ft$

And the amount for Zaid would be 1.2*360 ft= 432ft

So then Zaid construc 432 ft and Matias 360 ft

The sum of two numbers is 35.

LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer:

Larger number(x)=20

Step-by-step explanation:

They're saying that the larger number 3 times is EQUAL(the same) to 4 times the smaller number.

The smallest number=35-x.

The larger number= x.

3 times the larger number=3x

4 times the smaller number=4(35-x)

Now, input it into an equation and solve:

3x=4(35-x) Distribute by multiplying 4 with 35 and x.

3x+4x=140-4x+4x Get 140 by itself by adding 4x.

7x/7=140/7 Divide.

x=20

Since x= the larger number, x=20.

Log*subscript*(3x − 2) 4096 = 3<br><br> I got x= negative 6 is this correct??

Brut [27]

Remember

$log_a(b)=c$ translates to $a^c=b$
and
$log_a(b^c)=clog_a(b)$
so

4096=16^3
$log_{3x-2}(4096)=3$
$log_{3x-2}(16^3)=3$
$3log_{3x-2}(16)=3$
divide both sides by 3
$log_{3x-2}(16)=1$
translate
$(3x-2)^1=16$
3x-2=16
add 2 to both sides
3x=18
divide both sides by 3
x=6
