A first number plus twice a second number is 6. Twice the first number plus the second totals 24. Find the numbers

Mathematics
1 answer:
DanielleElmas [232]3 years ago
6 0

Answer: 14 and -4

Step-by-step explanation:

From the first statement: Let the first number be x and the second number be y , then x + 2y = 6.

From the second statement: 2x + y = 24

Combining the two equations , we have

x + 2y = 6 ......................... equation 1

2x + y = 24 ........................ equation 2

Solving simultaneously

x = 14 , y = -4

If you have 80 employees and you grow 116%, what was the amount of original employees?
Ganezh [65]

。☆✼★ ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━  ☾

Find the multiplier by diving the percentage by 100

116/100 = 1.16

Divide the number of employees by this:

80/1.16 = 68.9655...

There would be 68 employees.

8th grade geometry part 3, please explain the steps :)))
Illusion [34]

Answer: Volume = 97.6

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of the cone first

V = 1/3 h π r²

<u>h = 0.7</u>

<u>r = 2</u>

V = 1/3 × 0.7 × 2² × 3.14

V = 1/3 × 0.7 × 4 × 3.14

V = 1/3 × 8.792

V = 2.93

Then find the volume of the cylinder if the cone was there.

V = π r² h

<u>r = 2</u>

<u>h = 8 </u>

V = 3.14 × 2² × 8

V = 3.14 × 4 × 8

V = 3.14 × 32

V = 100.48

Now you subtract the volume of the cone from the cylinder.

100.48 - 2.93 = 97.55

Rounded to the nearest tenth is 97.6

Hope this was helpful, I know it is a lot to look at but I tried my best.

Also, can I get brainliest? I worked really hard on this.
