The sum of two numbers is 54 . the smaller number is 12 less than the larger number. what are the numbers?

1 answer:

5 0

<span>Let x=one number and x+12= the other number. Together the numbers=54. Set up the equation: x+x+12=54; Combine the variables; 2x+12=54; Subtract 12 from both sides of the equation; 2x=42; Divide both sides of the equation by 2; x=21 is one number and 21+12=33 is the other number. Check: 2(21) +12=54; 42+12=54; 54=54.</span>

Use the figure to the right to find the value of PT. T is the midpoint of PQ.

o-na [289]

Answer:

PT = 17

Step-by-step explanation:

Since T is the midpoint of PQ, then

PT = TQ , substitute values

4x + 5 = 8x - 7 ( subtract 4x from both sides )

5 = 4x - 7 ( add 7 to both sides )

12 = 4x ( divide both sides by 4 )

3 = x

Thus

PT = 4x + 5 = 4(3) + 5 = 12 + 5 = 17

How are fractions and decimals related

Airida [17]

A fraction is a short way to write a division problem. When you see a fraction, it means "the top number divided by the bottom number". When you actually DO the division, the answer is the decimal that's equal to the fraction.

The six numbers in a set are 137, 128, 250, 136, 129, and 138. Which measures of the data increase when the outlier is included?

Leni [432]

Range increases. This is because range is the biggest number minus the smallest number. So when the biggest number is much bigger than the rest of the numbers, the range increases.
