First of all, x>y
x-y=40
and
x+y=66
add them equations together to eliminate

x-y=40
<u>x+y=66 +</u>
2x+0y=106

2x=106
divide by 2
x=53

sub back
x-y=40
53-y=40
minus 53 both sides
-y=-13
y=13


the numbers are 53 and 13

Violet made cookies for the bake sale. 7/10 of the cookies are chocolate chip. 3/4 of the remaining cookies are sugar. What frac
FromTheMoon [43]
We know that 7/10 of the cookies are chocolate chip, so that means there are 3/10 of the cookies left.
We now want to find what 3/4 of 3/10 is.
We can do this by multiplying both fractions
3/4x3/10 (we just multiply across) to get 9/40.
We cannot simplify this answer, so our final answer is 9/40 of the cookies are sugar cookies.

What was the approximate number of mobile cellular subscriptions per 100 people in zimbabwe in 2003?
Leona [35]
In this case, i think you just need to divide the amount of telephone subscription and divide it among 100 people

For example, let's say that there is around 2,000,000 subscription for 100,000 users.
The amount would be : 2,000,000 / 1,000
= 2,000 number of mobile per 100 people

hope this helps

Find the equation of a line perpendicular to 4x−y=2 that contains the point (4,−2). Write the equation in slope-intercept form.
attashe74 [19]

Step-by-step explanation:

4x -y =2

-y = -4x + 2

y = 4x -2

slope = 4

perpendicular slope is negative inverse

so -1/4

y- -2 = -1/4(x - 4)

y+2 = -1/4x +1

y = -1/4x -1
