Let one number = X and the second number = Y.

The sum of the numbers is 5 so you get X + Y = 5

One number exceeds the other by 11 ( that means the difference of the numbers is 11, so you would have X  - Y = 11

Your two equations are:

X + Y = 5

X - Y = 11

Add the equations together:

x +x = 2x

y-y = 0

5+11 = 16

Now you have 2x = 16

Divide both sides by 2:

X = 16/2 = 8

Now you have x = 8, replace x with 8 and solve for Y:

8 + y = 5

Subtract 8 from both sides:

y = 5 - 8 = -3

X = 8, Y = -3

Answer and step-by-step explanation:

If we called the first number is x

The second number is y

We are given that:

x + y = 5

x = y + 11

Let put x from (2) into (1), we gotL

x + y = 5

y + 11 + y = 5

2y + 11 = 5

2y = 16

2y = 8

y = 8

Because y = 8 and x + y = 5 so:

x + 8 = 5

x = 5 - 8

x = -3

So x = -3 and y = 8 or x = 8 and y = -3

Hope this helped :3

In a group of 31 pupils, 4 play the flute only. 14 play the piano only. 7 play neither instrument. A student is selected at rand
solmaris [256]

Answer:

probability the student plays both instruments is [  \frac{6}{31}  ]

<h2>                         <u>Explanation</u>:</h2>

students who play both instruments = total students - flute players - piano players - students who play neither instruments

students who play both instruments

→ 31 - 4 - 14 - 7

→ 6 students play both instruments.

probability:

<h2>→  \boxed{\frac{students- who -play- both- instruments}{total -students} }</h2><h2>→                     \boxed{\frac{6}{31} }</h2>

Nolan rides his bike 63 miles in 270 minutes. What is his average speed in miles per hour?
boyakko [2]
Here, to find the average rate of change, you would simply divide 270 by 63. And when that is done, you would get a long decimal. 4.285714285714286

And since you obviously can't put in such a long decimal as your answer, you would round it instead. Once rounded, you would end up with 4.29 (because the number after 8 is five, which rounds up, which would turn the 8 to 9.)

A circle is inscribed in an equilateral triangle. A point in the figure is selected at random. Find the probability that the poi
liubo4ka [24]

Answer:

The correct answer is first option 60%

Step-by-step explanation:

The radius of a circle is inscribed in an equilateral triangle with side a = a/2√3

<u>To find the area of equilateral triangle</u>

Here side be 'a'

Area of equilateral = √3a²/4

<u>To find the area of circle</u>

Here radius = a/2√3

Area = πr²

 = π(a/2√3)

 = 3.14a²/12

<u>To find the probability</u>

probability = area of circle/area of triangle

   = 3.14a²/12/ √3a²/4

   = 3.14/3√3

   = 0.6043 ≈ 60.43 %  60 %

The correct answer is first option 60%
