The sum of two numbers is 3.1. Twice the large number is 7 more than 3 times the smaller number. What are the numbers?

Degger [83]3 years ago

Let the two numbers be x and y where x is greater than y.

So;

x + y = 3.1 ... (i)

2x - 3y = 7 ... (ii)

This forms a set of simultaneous equations (i) and (ii)

Solving the simultaneous equations by elimination;

We multiply (i) by 2 and (ii)  by 1 to get:

2x + 2y = 6.2 ... (i)

2x - 3y = 7 ... (ii)

Subtracting (i) - (ii) we get;

5y = -0.8

y = -0.8/5 = -0.16

x = 3.1 - -0.16 = 3.26

The numbers are 3.26 and -0.16.

Answer:

it'll be a graph like this. the blue line is y<-x+2 and you would shade everything below this line because it's less than. the green is y>x-3 so you would shade everything above this line because it is greater than.

A company donates 2,292 gifts to a school. the gifts are diveded evenly among 19 classrooms. The rest of the gifts are given to
BARSIC [14]

Answer:

<em>Each classroom received 120 gifts and the hospital received 12 gifts</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Division As Evenly Distribution</u>

The first concept we manage when learning about divisions is how to distribute an amount N among m elements such as everyone receives the same amount.

If the nature of the problem allows distributing decimal portions of N, then every receiver gets exactly the same amount N/m.

But things are different when the division must be an integer number. For example, if we wanted to divide gifts, we cannot give partial gifts. So the correct division is a matter of the study of integer numbers.

If N is divisible by m, i.e. there is no remainder in the division, then each element will receive N/m gifts. But what if they are not divisible? We must divide and take the integer part of the division and discard the remainder

We want to divide 2,292 gifts to the school, where there are 19 classrooms. If we divide 2,292/19 we get 120 and a remainder of 12.

Answer. Each classroom received 120 gifts and the hospital received 12 gifts
