Answer:

1.75

Step-by-step explanation:

If a and b are two numbers, then their arithmetic mean is

$\dfrac{a+b}{2}$

Given:

$10a+10b=35$

Divide this equation by 10:

$a+b=3.5$

Now, divide it by 2:

$\dfrac{a+b}{2}=\dfrac{3.5}{2}\\ \\\dfrac{a+b}{2}=1.75$

Answer:

Regular price: $429

35% discount: 278.85

5% tax: $13.94

Final cost: 292.79

Step-by-step explanation:

regular price=$429

0.35(429)=150.15

429-150.15=278.85

35% discount amount: $278.85

278.85(0.05)=13.94

278.85+13.94=292.79

1/4, because you disregard the repeating 25s and round, and 25 x 4 is one hundred, so simplified it's 1/4.

Use the identity (x+y)(x2−xy+y2)=x3+y3 to find the sum of two numbers if the product of the numbers is 10, the sum of the square

Answer:

The sum of two numbers is 7.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : the product of the numbers is 10, the sum of the squares of the numbers is 29, and the sum of the cubes of the numbers is 133.

Using identity $(x+y)(x^2-xy+y^2)=x^3+y^3$ and given details, we have to find the sum of two numbers.

Since, given that the product of the numbers is 10 that is $xy=10$

Also, given the sum of the squares of the numbers is 29 that is $x^2+y^2=29$

and the sum of the cubes of the numbers is 133 that is $x^3+y^3=133$

Using, the given identity $(x+y)(x^2-xy+y^2)=x^3+y^3$ ,

Substitute, the given values, we have,

$(x+y)(29-10)=133$

Simplify , we get,

$(x+y)(19)=133$

Divide both side by 19, we have,

$(x+y)=7$

Thus, the sum of two numbers is 7.
