One number is eight more than twice another. if their difference is 25, what is the larger number? 17 42 35

1 answer:

6 0

X = 2y + 8
x - y = 25

2y + 8 - y = 25
y = 25 - 8
y = 17

x = 2y + 8
x = 2(17) + 8
x = 34 + 8
x = 42

the larger number (x) = 42...and the smaller number (y) = 17

What is 2 2/15 - 1 2/3= I ended up with 2 3/21 Really need help with this!

QveST [7]

Answer:

$2 \frac{2}{15} - 1 \frac{2}{3}$

$= \frac{32}{15} - \frac{5}{3}$

$= \frac{32 \times 1 - 5 \times 5}{15}$

$= \frac{32 - 25}{15}$

$= \frac{7}{15}$

Write an equation for a circle with a diameter that has endpoints at (–10, 1) and (–8, 5). Round to the nearest tenth if necessa

satela [25.4K]

The standard form for the equation of a circle is :

(x−h)^2+(y−k)^2=r2 ----------- EQ(1)
 where handk are the x and y coordinates of the center of the circle and r is the radius.
 The center of the circle is the midpoint of the diameter.

So the midpoint of the diameter with endpoints at (−10,1)and(−8,5) is :

((−10+(−8))/2,(1+5)/2)=(−9,3)

So the point (−9,3) is the center of the circle.

Now, use the distance formula to find the radius of the circle:

r^2=(−10−(−9))^2+(1−3)^2=1+4=5

⇒r=√5

Subtituting h=−9, k=3 and r=√5 into EQ(1) gives :

(x+9)^2+(y−3)^2=5

daser333 [38]

Answer:

The point estimate for the proportion of 18-year-olds who have not graduated from high school in this city is 0.25.

Step-by-step explanation:

The point estimate is the sample proportion.

She draws a random sample of 80 18-year-olds in the city and finds that 20 of them have not graduated from high school.

This means that:

$p = \frac{20}{80} = 0.25$

The point estimate for the proportion of 18-year-olds who have not graduated from high school in this city is 0.25.
