Solve the following word problem: Kay made 5 less phone calls today than Stephanie. If together they made 21 calls, how many cal
professor190 [17]
Answer:
Kay made 8 phone calls
Stephanie made 13 phone calls

Explanation:
Assume the number of phone calls that Stephanie made is x.
We are given that:
Kay made 5 phone calls less than Stephanie.
This means that:
Kay made x-5 phone calls

We know that the total number of phones is 21.
This means that:
21 = x + x - 5

Now we solve for x as follows:
21 = x + x - 5
21 = 2x - 5
2x = 26
x = 26/2
x = 13

This means that:
Stephanie made x = 13 phone calls
Kay made x - 5 = 13 - 5 = 8 phone calls

Hope this helps :)

1 5 7

5 7 1

all diagonal elements of A^2 are: 7^2 + 1^2 + 5^2

Matrix:

9   18  27

27 -9  18

18  27 9

all diagonal elements of A^2 are: 9^2 + 27*18 + 18*27   or (-9)^2

Matrix:

What the answer is and what it is as a mixed number
qaws [65]
-17/6 is the unequal fraction answer. To put it as a mixed number, you simply divide it like it's set up and put the remaining 'leftovers' as the fraction. 12 divided by six equals two, leaving us with five left over, so the answer is 12 5/6
