Answer:

11 and 16

Step-by-step explanation:

A good way to solve these is to work backwards.

X= larger and Y= smaller

if X is 5 more than 2Y than subtract 5 from the total

38 - 5 = 33

divide by 3

33/3 = 11

11 = Y and double that is 22 so add the five back into X and you get 16

alexdok [17]
The equation is:
h ( t ) = - 16 t² + 60 t + 3
The toy rocket will reach the ground when: h ( t ) = 0
- 16 t² + 60 t + 3 = 0
t _{12} =  \frac{-60+/- \sqrt{3600+192} }{-32}
t 1 = - 0.05
t 2 = 3.8

Ann [662]

Answer:No, she does not have enough cups of sugar

Step-by-step explanation:

Sarah needs to make a cake and some cookies. The cake requires 3/4 cups of sugar. If she has 15/16 cups of sugar, then the number of cups of sugar that would be left after making the cake would be

15/16 - 3/4 = (15 - 12)/16 = 1/4

If the cookies require 3/5 cups of sugar, then the cups of sugar that she has won't be enough because

1/4 - 3/5 = (5 - 12)/5 = -7/5 cups

It means that she would need more cups of sugar.
