Answer: 5 and 7

Step-by-step explanation: The first sentence "one number is 5 less than another" tells us how we are going to set up our variables.

If we represent one of our two numbers as (X) the other number will then be (X - 5). Let's call (X) the larger number and (X - 5) the smaller number.

Now we can use our second sentence "Their sum is 19" to set up our equation.

X + (X - 5) = 19

2x - 5 = 19

    +5    +5

2x = 24

÷2   ÷2

 X = 12

Now if (X) the larger number is equal to 12 then (X - 5) the smaller number is (12 - 5) or 7.

Therefore, our two numbers are 5 and 7.

What is the surface area of a coke bottle? <br>how do you figure it out?
svetlana [45]
Can or bottle? A can will be the calculation for the surface area of a cylinder which is A= 2 \pi rh+2 \pi  r^{2} if r is the radius of the circle on the top and bottom of the can and h is the height of the can. A can is basically two circles and a big rectangle. For a bottle I don't know there are too many components and no numbers to solve for that

Explain the error a student is asked to find when the value of an investment of $5200 is an account that earns 4.2% annual inter
zloy xaker [14]

We are given the following information

Investment = $5200

Annual interest rate = 4.2% = 0.042

Final amount = $16,500

Number of years = 27.7 years

Number of compoudings = quartely = 4

The student uses the following model

V(t)=5200(1.014)^{3t}

The general formula for compound interest is given by

V(t)=P(1+\frac{r}{n})^{nt}

As you can see, the number of compoundings is incorrect (3 vs 4)

The interest rate is also incorrect.

Let us substitute the given values into the above formula

\begin{gathered} V(t)=P(1+\frac{r}{n})^{nt} \\ V(t)=5200(1+\frac{0.042}{4})^{4\cdot27.7} \\ V(t)=5200(1+0.0105)^{110.8} \\ V(t)=5200(1.0105)^{110.8} \\ V(t)=\$16543.5^{} \end{gathered}

Therefore, the final amount is approximately $16,543.5
