Let the first number be 'x' and the second number is 'y'
Equation 1: x + y = 52
Equation 2: x - y = 38
Rearranging equation 2 to make either x or y the subject
x = 38 + y
Substituting x = 38 + y into equation 1
x + y = 52
(38+y) + y = 52
38 + 2y = 52
2y = 52 - 38
2y = 14
y = 7
Substitute y = 7 into either equation 1 or equation 2 to find x
x + y = 52
x + 7 = 52
x = 52 - 7
x = 45
x = 45
y = 7
Answer:
Brian can read 0.4 or 4/10 in 1 hour
Step-by-step explanation:
The answer is 4/10 because 20 multiplied by 3 is 60, which equals 1 hour.
So, 2/15 times 3 = 4/10
P.S Can I have brainliest?
It’s D, 10.7
8 - (4.7 x (-1)) - 2 = 10.7
First, we need to find the total fraction of her raisins she used:
1/4 + 3/8 = 2/8 + 3/8
She used 5/8 of her supply.
Knowing this:
5/8x = 5
We multiply by 8 (the LCD)
5x = 40
x = 8
Her supply was 8 pounds, and after making the food, she now has 3 pounds
