The two numbers are 6 and 18

Step-by-step explanation:

The given is:

  • The sum of two numbers is the same as four times the smaller number
  • If twice the larger is decreased by the smaller, the result is 30

We need to find the the numbers

Assume that the smaller number is x and the larger number is y

∵ The smaller number = x

∵ The larger number = y

∵ The sum of the two numbers is the same as four times the

   smaller number

- That means add the two numbers and equate the sum by four

   times x

∴ x + y = 4x

- Subtract both sides by x

∴ y = 3x ⇒ (1)

∵ Twice the larger number is decreased by the smaller number,

   the result is 30

- That means multiply y by 2 and subtract x from the product,

    then equate the difference by 30

∴ 2y - x = 30 ⇒ (2)

- Substitute y in equation (2) by equation (1)

∵ 2(3x) - x = 30

∴ 6x - x = 30

- Add like terms in the left hand side

∴ 5x = 30

- Divide both sides by 5

∴ x = 6

- Substitute the value of x in equation (1) to find y

∵ y = 3(6)

∴ y = 18

The two numbers are 6 and 18

The following table shows the probability of rolling the numbers 1 through 7
Marysya12 [62]

Answer:

2.0

Step-by-step explanation:

Couldn't really understnd what you wrote but I'll assume it's the standard deviation of a fair, 7-sided die

The standard deviation is just the square root of the variance (which is just the second moment minus the first moment squared)

The first moment (AKA the average is..)

\frac{1+2+3+4+5+6+7}{7}=4

The second moment is..

\frac{1^2+2^2+3^2+4^2+5^2+6^2+7^2}{7}=20

\sqrt{20-4^2}=2

How much water conditioner for 2.5 gallon tank?
vivado [14]
If i'm correct you should add 0.5 mL to your 1 gallon tank, and I would say about 1.25 mL to your 2.5 gallon. It will not be extreme if you end up putting a little more in than you are supposed to. I'm not 100% because i haven't slept so my brain is being slow.

Compare 9 * 10^4 to 3 * 10^2. (A) 9 * 10^4 is 3 times larger than 3 * 10^2 (B) 9 * 10^4 is 30 times larger than 3 * 10^2 (C) 9 *
dexar [7]

Answer:

9 * 10^4 is 300 times larger than 3 * 10^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to compare the two figures and give the verdict on how big they are

as we can see, by squaring the second figure, we get the first

Mathematically, what we are saying is that;

(9 * 10^4) = (3 * 10^2)^2

So

basically, the difference between the two is to the tune of (3 * 10^2)

Hence we can conclude that the first number is 300 times bigger than the second number
