Answer:
<u>The two numbers are 23 and 56</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's say the two numbers are A and B.
We are told:
1) A+B=79
2) 3A+5B=283
Let's take the first expression and solve for A:
A+B=79
A=79-B
Now use this value of A in the second expression:
3A+5B=283
3(79-B)+5B=283
237-3B+5B=283
2B = 46
B = 23
Since B=23, we know from 1) that
A+B=79
A+23=79
A = 56
<u>CHECK:</u>
Does A+B=79?
56+23 = 79? <u>YES</u>
Does 3A+5B=283?
3(56)+5(23)=283
168 + 115 = 283? <u>YES</u>
Answer:
It is $1.59 for 12. Also $.1325 for 1 shell
Step-by-step explanation:
So, after one year will will have the new population of 23 000 * (100 %+2%)
(the 100 % is the old population and the 2% is the increase), that is:
23000*1.02=23460
(102 % can be represented as 1.02)
And for the next years, we have to repeat the procedure.
a more generic rule would be:
y=23000*

(x is the number of years passed)
Answer:
they work together, it will take 2.4 hours to build the wall.
Step-by-step explanation:
One bricklayer can build a wall in 6 hours.
One hour work = 
Another bricklayer can build the same wall in 4 hours.
One hour work = 
They can together, how long will take them to build the wall.
Let's take "t" the time taken to build the wall.
The sum of their work rate = 1 (To build the wall)

Now we have to solve this equation. Take LCD of 6 and 4.
The LCD (least common divisor) of 6 and 4 is 12.

5t = 12*1
5t = 12
Dividing both sides by 5, we get
t = 
t = 2.4 hours.
So, they work together, it will take 2.4 hours to build the wall.
