Answer: the first number is 11 38/41

The second number is 10 4/41

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the first number.

Let y represent the second number.

4 times one number plus 3 times the other is 78. It means that

4x + 3y = 78- - - - - - - - - -1

3 times the first number minus 8 times the other is -45. It means that

3x - 8y = - 45- - - - - - - - - 2

We would eliminate x by multiplying equation 1 by 3 and equation 2 by 4. It becomes

12x + 9y = 234

12x - 32y = - 180

Subtracting, it becomes

41y = 414

y = 414/41

y = 10 4/41

Substituting y = 414/41 into equation 1, it becomes

4x + 3 × 414/41 = 78

4x + 1242/41 = 78

4x = 78 - 1242/41

4x = 1956/41

x = 1956/41 × 1/4

x = 1956/164

x = 11 38/41

Aria paid $75,000 for her house. its property value increased by 2.2% per year. when aria sold her house after eleven years, how
Wewaii [24]

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

Converting percent to decimal : 2.2/100 = 0.022

Finding 2.2$ of $75k : 75,000 x 0.022 = $1,650 (also the increase in one year)

Finding how much it was worth after 11 years :

(75,000 x 0.022) x 11 = $18,150 or 1,650 x 11 = $18,150

Now add the product to the regular amount to find out the answer:

75,000 + 18,150 = $93,150 (which is how much it increased after 11 years)

The circumference can be obtained fairly easily by simply substituting the d in c = πd for the colony's given diameter of 12 mm. Performing that calculation using the approximation of π ≈ 3.14, we obtain a circumference of 12 x 3.14 = 37.68 mm.

To find the radius, remember how the diameter and radius of a circle are defined. The radius is a length extending from the center of a circle to a point on its circumference, and a diameter is a line extending from one point on the circle's circumference to an opposite point, passing through the circle's center along the way. The diameter can, in this way, be defined as twice the length of the radius, which means we can find the radius of a circle by taking half of its diameter. In this case, our diameter is 12 mm, so our radius would be 6 mm.
