We can use a system of equations in order to solve for both of the numbers. Let's start off by assigning variables to each number. The bigger number can be 'x', and the smaller number can be 'y'.

We can make two equations from the given:

x = 18 + y

("One number is 18 more than another number")

x + y = 36

("The sum of the numbers is 36")

If you look at the first equation, the variable 'x' already has a value (18 + y). We can input its value into the second equation in order to solve for y:

x + y = 36

(18 + y) + y = 36

18 + 2y = 36

2y = 18

y = 9

Input the value of 'y' into the first equation:

x = 18 + y

x = 18 + 9

x = 27

<u>One number is 27 and the other number number is 9.</u>

After reading a book foe English class, 100 students were asked whether or not they enjoyed it. Nine twenty-fifths of the class
Katena32 [7]

Answer:

The number of students who liked the book was 64.

Step-by-step explanation:

After reading a book for English class, 100 students were asked whether or not they enjoyed it.

Now, given that nine twenty-fifths of the class did not like the book.

So, \frac{9}{25} of the whole class did not like the book.

Then, the fraction of the class who did like the book was (1 - \frac{9}{25}) = \frac{16}{25}.

Therefore, the number of students who liked the book was (100 \times \frac{16}{25}) = 64. (Answer)

Find the solution to the system of equations: x + 3y = 7 and 2x + 4y = 8 1. Isolate x in the first equation: 2. Substitute the v
klemol [59]
X + 3y = 7
x = -3y + 7

2x + 4y = 8
2(-3y + 7) + 4y = 8
-6y + 14 + 4y = 8
-2y = 8 - 14
-2y = - 6
y = -6/-2
y = 3

x + 3y = 7
x + 3(3) = 7
x + 9 = 7
x = 7 - 9
x = -2

solution is (-2,3)

A time/motion word problem
andriy [413]
The two planes are flying on the two legs of a right triangle.
The straight distance between them is the hypotenuse of the triangle.

Since the speeds are in mph, let's work the time in hours.
Call the time 'H' that we're looking for.
It's the number of hours after they both take off that they're 650 miles apart.

After 'H' hours, the first plane has gone 500H miles north.
After 'H' hours, the second plane has gone 1200H miles east.
After 'H' hours, they are 650 miles apart.

Do you remember this for a right triangle ? ==>    A² + B² = C²

(500H)² + (1200H)² = (650)²

250,000H² + 1,440,000H² = 422,500

1,690,000 H² = 422,500

H² = (422,500) / (1,690,000) = 0.25

H = √0.25 = 1/2 hour = 30 minutes
