<span>The sum of two numbers is 48.
a + b = 48
;
If one third of one number is 5 greater than one sixth of another number,
a = b + 5
multiply both sides by 6, cancel the fractions
2a = b + 30
2a - b = 30
</span><span>use elimination to solve this
a + b = 48
2a - b =30
-------------Addition eliminates b, find a
3a = 78
a =
a = 26
then
26 + b = 48
b = 48 - 26
b = 22</span>
10*3 = 30 feet
30 ft*12 =360 inches
2ft *12 in=24 inches
360 +24 +1=385 inches
The vol. of a cube of side length s is V=s^3.
So, if the side length is 5a+4b, then the volume of the cube is
V(a, b) = (5a+4b)^3. This could, of course, be expanded, using the binomial theorem, but there's no point in doing so.
100 divided by 50 is 2.
So multiply the change by 2, so 2 times 3.
Answer is 6 percent.
The wording is confusing but I am going to guess it is 5(n+1)=2(n+7). So 5xn=5n and 5x1=5. 5n+5=2(n+7). Then 2xn=2n and 2x7=14. The question now stands 5n+5=2n+14. Then 5n+2n=7n and 14-5=9. So, you have 7n=9. Then you divide both sides by 7 and get n=1.2857...
