x + y = 23

x = 2y-1

y + 2y-1 =23

3y-1 =23

3y =24

y = 24/3 =8

 y = 8

 x = 2*8-1 = 15

15+8 = 23

 the 2 numbers are 8 & 15

Let the two numbers be x and y.

Given,

x + y = 23

x = 23 - y

Also given,

y = 2x - 1

y= 2(23 -y) -1

y = 46 - 2y - 1

3y = 45

y = 15

x = 23 - y = 23 - 15 = 8

Hence, the two numbers are 15 and 8.

After a storm damages the community center, Shanika and her friends hold fundraising
Inessa [10]

Answer:

The total amount of money Shanika and her friends want to raise is <u>$2400</u>.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

After a storm damages the community center, Shanika and her friends hold fundraising.

After the first event, they raise $240, which is 10% of the  total amount that they want to raise.

Now, to find the total amount of money that Shanika and her friends want to raise.

Let the total amount of money that Shanika and her friends want to raise be x.

As given 10% of fundraise is $240.

So, according to question:

10\%\ of\ x=\$240.

\frac{10}{100}\times x=240

\frac{10x}{100}=240.

<em>Multiplying both sides by 100 we get:</em>

10x=24000.

<em>Dividing both sides by 10 we get:</em>

x=\$2400.

Therefore, the total amount of money Shanika and her friends want to raise is $2400.

A car whose acceleration is constant reaches a speed of
Sergeu [11.5K]

Answer:

  12.5 s

Step-by-step explanation:

If acceleration is constant, speed is proportional to time. To increase the speed by 50 km/h, the car will need an additional time given by ...

  t/(50 km/h) = (20 s)/(80 km/h)

  t = (20 s)(50/80) . . . . . multiply by 50 km/h

  t = 12.5 s

It will take 12.5 more seconds for it to reach a speed of 130 km/h.

How does the area of the polygons compare to π? ( π is 3.14)
soldi70 [24.7K]

The area of the polygons compare to π in the way that as more angles and sides are added to a polygon the polygon becomes closer to a circle; the perimeter slowly changes to circumference. Π is used to find the area and circumference of a circle, so as polygons come closer to becoming circles π becomes more strongly associated to the polygon. You can even use π to find the approximate area of a circle if you use the same formula (as you would to find the area of a circle) on a polygon. Another way to go about it is like this…

You can find the area of a circle if you know the circle’s circumference by using these steps:

<span>1.         Divide the circumference by π to find the diameter of the circle.</span>

<span>2.         Divide the diameter by 2 to find the radius of the circle.</span>

<span>3.         Now that you have the radius you can use the formula Area= πr2 to find the area of the circle.</span>
