the average of two numbers is 34 the first number is three times the second number what are the two numbers

1 answer:

7 0

Hi there!

To solve this problem, we need to set up two equations and use the system of equations to solve.

Let x be the first number.
Let y be the second number.

(x + y) ÷ 2 = 34
x = 3y

Now, we can use substitution to solve.

(3y + y) ÷ 2 = 34
4y ÷ 2 = 34
2y = 34
y = 17

Now, we plug the value of y in the equation to solve for x.

x = 3*17
x = 51

Hope this helps!

A coffee shop uses 4 liters of milk every day.

Alina [70]

Answer:

explained

Step-by-step explanation:

a. daily requirement of milk = 4 liters

15 liters of milk is present

this 15 liters of milk will be used up in $\frac{15}{4}$ days

= 3(3/4) days , so after 3 days only more milk will be required to purchase.

b. daily milk consumption is reduced to half = 2 liters

Now, 15 liters of milk will be used up in $\frac{15}{2}$ = 7.5 or 7(1/2) days.

Hence now milk will be purchased after 7 days.

10x - 10y = 1 x = y - 3 solve the system of equations by substitution. a. (-29/20, 31/20) b. (1/2, 2/5) c. no solution d. coinci

Gekata [30.6K]

First you'd substitute x= y-3 in the first equation.

10(y-3) -10y= 1

10y - 30 -10y= 1

The y's cancel each other out, so you're left with -30= 1. That means there's no solution :)
