Find two consecutive numbers whose cubes differ by 631

1 answer:

4 0

Let the two numbers be x and y, in which x is larger than y. From these variables, we can formulate the following equations:

x = y + 1 --> eqn 1
x³ - y³ = 631 --> eqn 2

Since there are two unknowns and two independent equations, this system is solvable. Substitute equation 1 to equation 2, then solve for y.

(y + 1)³ - y³ = 631
Solving for y,
y = 14
x = y + 1 = 14 + 1 = 15

<em>Therefore, the two consecutive numbers are 14 and 15.</em>

2 points The compound interest on a certain sum for the first year for 4 % is Rs. 25. The compound interest for 2 years at the s

Sloan [31]

Answer:

The interest for the two years is Rs 51.

Step-by-step explanation:

Rate, R = 4 %

Compound interest for 1 year = Rs 25

Let the sum is P.

For first year,

$A = P \left ( 1+\frac{R}{100} \right )^1\\\\A = P(1+0.04)\\\\A - P = 0.04 P\\\\0.04 P = 25\\\\P= Rs625$

For 2 year

$A = P \left ( 1+\frac{R}{100} \right )^2\\\\A = 625(1+0.04)^2\\\\A = 676\\$

Interest is

Interest = Rs 676 - Rs 625 = Rs 51

Kai spent 90% of his money on a laptop that cost $423. Does he have enough money left to buy a scanner.explain

GarryVolchara [31]

Okay, so:

You would want to find what 1/10 of the laptop costs. That would be the 10% of money left in Kai's account.

So,

423*.1

(you have to turn the percentage into a decimal; 10%= .10

423*.1= 42.3

So, Kai has 42.3 dollars left to buy a scanner. He only has 10% of his bank account left to spend on the scanner.

I hope this helps!
