The larger of two numbers is 23. If three times the larger is 5 more than eight times the smaller, find the smaller number.

1 answer:

6 0

X and y are the numbers
x is greater than y

x=23

if 3 times x is 5 more than 8 times y, find y

3(x)=5+8(y)
3(23)=5+8y
69=5+8y
minus 5
64=8y
divide by 8
8=y
the smaller number is 8

Naily [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

You want to know the value of x that makes y=1000. You can plug the equation in to your calculator or desmos. Look at the table for when y=1000. X is 26.

To check, plug in 26 for x. 26^2 + 20(26) - 196 = 1000.

5. A survey of student pizza preferences showed that 43 students preferred cheese, 56 preferred sausage, 39 preferred pepperoni,

cestrela7 [59]

Answer:

P (Cheese) = 0.199, P (Sausage) = 0.259, P (Pepperoni) = 0.181,

P (Supreme) = 0.130, P (Another Kind) = 0.144

and P (Does not like any kind) = 0.088

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Number of students who prefer cheese = 43

Number of students who prefer sausage = 56

Number of students who prefer pepperoni = 39

Number of students who prefer supreme = 28

Number of students who prefer another kind = 31

Number of students who did not like any kind = 19

∴ The total number of students surveyed = $43+56+39+28+31+19=216$ The number of students who prefer pizza = $43+56+39+28+31=197$

The probability that a students likes pizza is,

$P(Student\ likes\ pizza)=\frac{No.\ of\ students\ who\ prefer\ pizza}{Total\ no.\ of\ students\ surveyed}$

$=\frac{197}{216} \\=0.912$

The probability that a students does not likes pizza is,

$P(Student\ does\ not\ likes\ pizza)=\frac{No.\ of\ students\ who\ does\ not\ prefer\ pizza}{Total\ no.\ of\ students\ surveyed}$

$=\frac{19}{216} \\=0.088$

The probability distribution of students who prefer different kinds of pizza is:

The probability that a student likes cheese:

$P(A\ Student\ prefers\ cheese)=\frac{No.\ of\ students\ who\ prefer\ cheese}{Total\ no.\ of\ students\ surveyed}$

$=\frac{43}{216}\\=0.199$

The probability that a student likes sausage:

$P(A\ Student\ prefers\ sausage)=\frac{No.\ of\ students\ who\ prefer\ sausage}{Total\ no.\ of\ students\ surveyed}$

$=\frac{56}{216}\\=0.259$

The probability that a student likes pepperoni:

$P(A\ Student\ prefers\ pepperoni)=\frac{No.\ of\ students\ who\ prefer\ pepperoni}{Total\ no.\ of\ students\ surveyed}$

$=\frac{39}{216}\\=0.181$

The probability that a student likes supreme:

$P(A\ Student\ prefers\ supreme)=\frac{No.\ of\ students\ who\ prefer\ supreme}{Total\ no.\ of\ students\ surveyed}$

$=\frac{28}{216}\\=0.130$

The probability that a student likes another kind:

$P(A\ Student\ prefers\ another\ kind)=\frac{No.\ of\ students\ who\ prefer\ another\ kind}{Total\ no.\ of\ students\ surveyed}$

$=\frac{31}{216}\\=0.144$

Thus, the probability distribution table is displayed below:

Does anyone know <br> 2x=8y=7<br> 4x-2y=9

Fantom [35]

Assuming you mean 2x-8y=7, we can start by multiplying the first equation by -2 and adding it to the second (to cross out the x), resulting in -18y=-5. After that, we can divide both sides by -18, resulting in y=5/18. Next, plugging that into 4x-2y=9, we have 4x-10/18=9. Adding 10/18 to both sides, we get 4x=9+10/18. After that, we can divide both sides by 4, resulting in x=(9+10/18)/4=

Can someone help me with this?

Westkost [7]

Answer:

A=10 cm

B=5 cm

Area of square = 25 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Since that is an equilateral triangle based off the fact that all the sides are the same variable (a) then that means 30 divided by 3 which equals 10. So now we know that a = 10. Lets input that information for the rectangle. Since there are 2 a's that equals 20 and the perimeter is 30 so b has to be 5 since 5 times 2 is 10 plus 20 equals 30. so now we know that a=10 and b=5 so our squares sides are all 5. The area of the square is 25
