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.

A company has made a rubber ball for $0. 02 per square foot. The company wants to spend a maximum of $1 each on a new ball.
Misha Larkins [42]

The diameter of the new rubber ball, to the nearest foot, must be D =  4.0 ft (in the case of the maximum cost).

<h3>How to find the diameter of the ball?</h3>

Remember that for a sphere of diameter D, the surface area is:

A = 4*pi*(D/2)^2

In this case, the cost is $0.02 per square foot, and the company wants to expend (at maximum) $1 per ball, so first we need to solve:

$0.02*A = $1

A = $1/$0.02 = 50

So the surface of the ball must be 50 square feet.

Then we solve:

50ft^2 = 4*3.14*(D/2)^2

D = 2*√(50 ft^2/(4*3.14)) = 4.0 ft
