2 equations:  the first one is the sum of 2 unknown numbers x and y: x + y = 72. Now the difference is 25, so x - y = 25. Solve the first equation for y: y = 72 - x. Sub that into the second equation to solve for x: x - (72 - x) = 25. x - 72 + x = 25 and 2x - 72 = 25.  Therefore, 2x = 97 and x = 48.5  That's the larger of the 2 numbers; since we subtracted y from x we defined x as the larger of the 2.  Just for fun, plug x in to find that y = 23.5

A rectangle has an area of 90 square centimeters and a height of 12.5 centimeters. What is the length of the base?
Sergio [31]

Answer:

A. 7.2 centimeters

Step-by-step explanation:

The length of the base is 7.2 centimeters. The area of a rectangle is length*width

The length is unknown but the area is known. To find the length, all we have to do is divide the area from the height.

The working is as follows :

Area = 90 cm²

Height = 12.5 cm

Length = ?

<em>Length</em><em> </em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>Area</em><em> </em><em>÷</em><em> </em><em>Height</em>

<em>=</em><em> </em><em>90</em><em> </em><em>÷</em><em> </em><em>12</em><em>.</em><em>5</em>

<em>=</em><em> </em><em>7.2cm</em>

Vanyuwa [196]

Answer:

Please check explanations

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to make an interpretation

From the question, we have that initially when the count was started, there were 5,428 people; this means that the initial value of the data is 5,428

For the rate of change, we have that there is an average increase of 142 people for each of 5 years;

That means per 5 years, there is an increase of 142 people and this is what represents the rate of change
