Two numbers total 63 and have a difference of 31. Find the two numbers

Answer: 47 and 16

Step-by-step explanation:

- Make Two Equations

x + y = 63

x - y = 31

- Set one of the equations equal to one of the variables

x + y = 63

x = 31 + y

- Substitute the equation back into the other one

(31 + y) + y = 63

31 + 2y = 63

2y = 32

y = 16

- Substitute the answer back into the equation

x + y = 63

x + 16 = 63

x = 47

Answer:

47 and 16

Step-by-step explanation:

Start by writing this question as two equations, lets call the two numbers x and y.

"Two numbers total 63" we can write that as x+y=63

"...and have a difference of 31" we can write that as x-y=31 or y-x=31 or |x-y| = 31 or |y-x| = 31. There a lot of ways to write that.

So lets use y-x=31 as the second equation, you can ignore the other possible ways since it doesn't matter in this problem to use absolute value

Using subsitution solve for x using x+y = 63,  x = -y + 63

Plug that into the other equation, -y+63-y=31

−2y+63=31 (Simplify both sides of the equation)

−2y+63+−63=31+−63 (Add -63 to both sides)

−2y=−32

y=16 (Divide both sides by -2 to get Y by itself)

We solved for Y(of of the numbers), now for X (the other number)

Substitute 16 for y in x= − y + 63:

x=−y+63

x=−16+63

x=47

Zebras migrate in a circle with a round trip of about 300 miles. They travel at 64 km/h. How many hours does it take zebra to do
Tresset [83]

Answer:

7.5 hours (7 hours and 30 minutes)

Step-by-step explanation:

ok Let's start with 64km/h.

1.6 km=1 mile,

64÷1.6=40miles

so 64km/h changes into 40miles/hour.

Zebras's round trip =300miles,

300/40=7.5

so answer is 7.5 hours.

Given f (g (x)) = x + 4 and f (x) = 3x + 5, find g (x).​
JulijaS [17]

Answer:

g(x) = \frac{1}{3}(x - 1) = \frac{x}{3} - \frac{1}{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = 3x + 5

f[g(x)] = 3[g(x)] + 5

⇒  3[g(x)] + 5 = x + 4

⇒  3[g(x)] = x + 4 - 5

⇒  3[g(x)] = x - 1

⇒  g(x) = \frac{1}{3}(x - 1) = \frac{x}{3} - \frac{1}{3}

Finger [1]
4(5x+1)(5x-1) = 0

1. Take out the GCF (in this case, 4)
4(25x^2-1) = 0

2. This can be further factored. Factor the values within the parenthesis
4(5x + 1)(5x -1) = 0
