Numbers are 4 and 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:

Let the numbers be x and y. Given that their sum is 12 and difference is 4. Form equations for this data.

⇒ x + y = 12 ------ (1)

⇒ x - y = 4 -------- (2)

Subtract eq (2) from (1)

⇒ 2x = 8

⇒ x = 4

Step 2:

Find y.

⇒ y = 12 - x = 12 - 4 = 8

A candidate running for office is putting on a gala as a fundraiser, with hopes of raising more than $7,900 in political contrib

baherus [9]

The simplest interpretation would go a little something like this:

We know that we want the total donation amount to be more than $7,900, so we can set up this inequality to begin with

$D \ \textgreater \ 7,900$

Where D is the total donations raised (in dollars). How do we find D? Well, we just add up the total number of table reservations sold and the total number of single tickets sold. If we let r stand for the number of reservation tickets and s stand for the number of single tickets, then we have

$D=540r+34s$

So, the inequality representing this situation would be

$540r+34s\ \textgreater \ 7,900$

And that would probably be fine for this problem.

Footnote: Of course, if this were a real-life scenario, we'd need to take some additional details into account: How many tables do we have? How many people can be seated at each table?

A right circular cylinder has a volume of 1 cubic meter and a height of 0.6 meters what is the radius of the cylinder to the nea

lapo4ka [179]

The volume formula of a cylinder is :

$V=\pi r^2h$

From the problem, the volume is 1 m^3 and the height is 0.6 m.

Substitute the given to the formula :

$\begin{gathered} 1=\pi r^2(0.6) \\ 1=3.14(0.6)r^2 \\ r^2=0.53 \end{gathered}$

Take the square root of both sides of the equation :

$\begin{gathered} r^2=0.53 \\ r=\sqrt[]{0.53} \\ r=0.728 \end{gathered}$

The answer is r = 0.728 m

Use the equation A=(1/2)bh

Replace b with 7
Replace h with 12

A=(1/2)(7)(12)
A=(1/2)(84)
A=42

How do you write y=25x-56 in standard form?

Tcecarenko [31]

To put a slope-intercept into standard form, you have to first cancel out the fractions. So:
$y = \frac{2}{5}x - \frac{5}{6}$

Turns into:
$(5)(6)y = (\frac{2}{5}x - \frac{5}{6})(5)(6)$

Simplify:
$30y = (\frac{2}{5}x - \frac{5}{6})(30)$

Distribute:
$30y = 12x- 25$

Since you want to get x and y on the same side, you subtract 12x from both sides to get:
$-12x+30y = -25$

So, your answer is C. Hope this all made sense! If it doesn't you know where to get a hold of me, so just dm me. Or if you more problems.

iren2701 [21]

I would tell them to try their hardest and to not give up hen it seems hard. Also I would tell them that if they need help they can ask for help from their teacher, parents, or friends if they do not understand what they are learning.

Hope this helped
