Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
a) set up the variables
Let x represent the first number Then y will represent the second number.
b) What is the equation that represents the above situation?
c) Solve the equation.
<u>Substitute x in the second equation and solve for y:</u>
- x + y = 51
- 2y + y = 51
- 3y = 51
- y = 51/3
- y = 17
<u>Then find x</u>
Answer:
$17.85
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the dollar amount per shirt be represented by s.
Let the dollar amount per pants be represented by p.
You have the following system:
3s+2p=104.81
2s+1p=61.33
If I multiply the bottom equation by -2, I can set the system up for elimination since the equations are already and the same form and I will have 2p and -2p in the same column there. 2p+(-2p)=0
Multiplying equation 2 by -2:
3s+2p=104.81
-4s-2p=-122.66
-----------------------Add the equations:
-1s =-17.85
Multiply both sides by -1:
s=17.85
So one shirt cost $17.85
We have to present the number 41 as the sum of two squares of consecutive positive integers.
1² = 1
2² = 4
3² = 9
4² = 16
5² = 25
16 + 25 = 41
<h3>Answer: 4 and 5</h3>
Other method:
n, n + 1 - two consecutive positive integers
The equation:
n² + (n + 1)² = 41 <em>use (a + b)² = a² + 2ab + b²</em>
n² + n² + 2(n)(1) + 1² = 41
2n² + 2n + 1 = 41 <em>subtract 41 from both sides</em>
2n² + 2n - 40 = 0 <em>divide both sides by 2</em>
n² + n - 20 = 0
n² + 5n - 4n - 20= 0
n(n + 5) - 4(n + 5) = 0
(n + 5)(n - 4) = 0 ↔ n + 5 = 0 ∨ n - 4 =0
n = -5 < 0 ∨ n = 4 >0
n = 4
n + 1 = 4 + 1 = 5
<h3>Answer: 4 and 5.</h3>
Answer:
4000
Step-by-step explanation:
V=4/3(3)(10)^3
V= 4/3 (3)(1000)
V=4/3 (3000)
V=4000
Answer:
a = 35°
Step-by-step explanation:
The angles in a triangle always add up to 180°
∴ 33 + 112 + a = 180
∴a=35°
