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

Stels [109]

Answer:

<h2>124.51%</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:  

In this problem, we are expected to solve for the percentage change, given the opening  point and the closing point

given that the low is 4014

and the high is  9012

the formula to calculate the percentage change is given as

%change= (high-low)/low*100

substituting our given data we have

%change= (9012-4014)/4014*100

%change= (4998)/4014*100

%change= (1.2451)*100

%change= 124.51%

The total change in the stock market from the beginning of the day to the end of the day is 124.51%

Danny has a rectangular rose garden that measures 8m by 12.5m. One bag of fertilizer can cover 16m2 . How many bags will he need
mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer:

we will need 7 bags

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem we first have to calculate the total area of ​​the garden

a = area

b = base = 8m

h = height = 12.5m

a = b * h

we replace with the known values

a = 8m * 12.5m

a = 100m²

Now that we know the total area of ​​the garden and the area occupied by a single bag, we divide the total area by what a bag covers.

100m² / 16m² = 6.25 bags

because we cannot buy a fraction of a bag we will need 7 bags
