Answer:

103 and 68

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

A + B = 171

A - B = 35

Add the two expressions to eliminate B.

B + (-B) = B - B = 0

We have

2A = 206

Divide both sides by 2 to isolate A

2A/2 = 206/2

A = 103

Now substitute 103 for A in either expression to get B

Using the first expression , we have

A + B = 171

103 + B = 171

Subtract 103 from both sides

103 - 103 + B = 171 - 103

B = 68

The numbers are 103 and 68

Check

103 + 68 = 171

103 - 68 = 35

Answer:

103 and 68

Step-by-step explanation:

since the difference has to be 35 subtract 35 from 171 (equals 136) then divide it by 2, you get 68 which is your first number, then add 35 back and get 103 for the second number, I hope this helped

If f(x) = x-1/3 and g(x) = 3x+1 what is (fog)(x)
marin [14]

Answer:

if you meant  f(x) = (x - 1) /3    then   f (g(x) ) = x

of if you meant  f(x) = x - (1/3) then  f(g (x)) =   3x + 2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = x-1/3 and g(x) = 3x+1 what is (fog)(x)

f ( g(x) ) =  (3x + 1)  - (1/3) =   3x  + 2/3

Or

if you meant  f(x) = (x - 1) /3    then   f (g(x) ) = x

of if you meant  f(x) = x - (1/3) then  f(g (x)) =   3x + 2/3

Archy [21]

Answer: The actual distance is 6 km

Step-by-step explanation: If you do a conversion from 1 cm to 20 km in fraction form, you will have

\frac{1cm}{20km} = \frac{0.1cm}{km ?}

So, if you solve for km, you will get 6 using cross multipulcation

Mrs. Zabel, the yearbook adviser, always likes to sell a large amount of yearbooks because after the initial set-up costs are pa
mart [117]
(50,45)(125,37.50)
slope(m) = (37.50 - 45) / (125 - 50) = -7.5/75 = -0.1

y = mx + b
slope(m) = -0.1
(50,45)...x = 50 and y = 45
now we sub and find b, the y int
45 = -0.1(50) + b
45 = - 5 + b
45 + 5 = b
50 = b

so ur equation is : y = -0.1x + 50

so it the staff sells 150 yearbooks...
y = -0.1x + 50
y = -0.1(150) + 50
y = -15 + 50
y =  35 <== price per yearbook
