One number exceeds another by 5 the sum of the numbers is 37 . What are the numbers

1 answer:

5 0

One number = x
Another number = y

x = y + 5
x + y = 37

(y + 5) + y = 37
2y + 5 = 37
2y = 32
y = 16

x = (16) + 5
x = 21

The numbers are 16 and 21.

Solve the equation 50=4(x-7)-6(3x-6)

rusak2 [61]

we are given

$50=4(x-7)-6(3x-6)$

Firstly , we can distribute

$50=4x-28-18x+36$

now, we can combine like terms

$50=-14x+8$

$-14x=42$

now, we can solve for x

and we get

$x=-3$ ...........Answer

in a recent semester at a local university 520 students enrolled in both general chemistry and calculus 1. Of these students 88

IceJOKER [234]

Let Ch and C denote the events of a student receiving an A in chemistry or calculus, respectively. We're given that

P(Ch) = 88/520

P(C) = 76/520

P(Ch and C) = 31/520

and we want to find P(Ch or C).

Using the inclusion/exclusion principle, we have

P(Ch or C) = P(Ch) + P(C) - P(Ch and C)

P(Ch or C) = 88/520 + 76/520 - 31/520

P(Ch or C) = 133/520

Solve for x

Mademuasel [1]

Answer:

x = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the rule of exponents

$a^{m}$ × $a^{n}$ ⇔ $a^{(m+n)}$

Given

$11^{x}$ = $11^{4}$ × $11^{5}$ = $11^{(4+5)}$ = $11^{9}$

Since the bases on both sides are common, then equate the exponents

x = 9
