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

The temperature went from -12°F to 18°F. How much did the temperature change

vlada-n [284]

Answer:

18 - (-12)

Step-by-step explanation:

Final temp. - Initial temp. = the change in temperature

By -12, we're indicating that is below zero (which is obvious) meaning that it is not in the "normal" scale nor in the imaginary scale of numbers. So, we can operate the following...

18 - (-12) = 30

So the temperature changed by 30 values or the temperature increased by 30 values, because the number is positive.

Given that T is the centroid of △DEF and FT=12

dlinn [17]

The centroid of a triangle divides the median of the triangle into 1 : 2

The measure of FQ is 18, while the measure of TQ is 6

Because point T is the centroid, then we have the following ratio

$\mathbf{TQ : FT =1 : 2}$

Where FT = 12.

Substitute 12 for FT in the above ratio

$\mathbf{TQ : 12 =1 : 2}$

Express as fraction

$\mathbf{\frac{TQ }{ 12} =\frac{1 }{ 2}}$

Multiply both sides by 12

$\mathbf{TQ =\frac{1 }{ 2} \times 12}$

This gives

$\mathbf{TQ =\frac{1 2}{ 2}}$

Divide 12 by 2

$\mathbf{TQ =6}$

The measure of FQ is calculated using:

$\mathbf{FQ = FT + TQ}$

Substitute 12 for FT, and 6 for TQ

$\mathbf{FQ = 12 + 6}$

Add 12 and 6

$\mathbf{FQ = 18}$

Hence, the measure of FQ is 18, while the measure of TQ is 6
