Let one of the numbers be x and the other be y.

The sum of the two numbers is 361:
⇒ x + y = 361

The difference between the two number is 173:
⇒x - y = 173

To solve this, we will make x the subject in one equation and substitute it into the other equation.

equation 1: x + y = 361
equation 2: x - y = 173

From equation 1:
x + y = 361
x = 361 - y

Now that we make x the subject, we will substitute it into the equation 2:

x - y = 173
(361 - y) - y = 173
361 - y - y = 173
361 - 2y = 173
2y = 361 - 173
2y = 188
y = 94

Now that we know that y = 94, we substitute it into equation 1 to find the value of x.

x + y = 361
x + 94 = 361
x = 361 - 94
x = 267

-------------------------------------------------
The two numbers are 267 and 94.

A bag contains yellow marbles and red marbles, 23 in total. The number of yellow marbles is 4 less than 2 times the number of re

Orlov [11]

First let’s express the total number of marbles as such:
y(yellow marbles) + r(red marbles)=23; y+r=23

now let’s express the relation of yellow marbles to red marbles:
y=2r(2 times red marbles) - 4(4 less marbles); y=2r-4

since we figured out what y equals, we can plug into the first equation we created:
(2r-4)+r=23

now solve for r:
2r-4+r=23
combine like terms
3r-4=23
add 4 to both sides
3r=27
divide both side by 3
r=9

plug r back into first equation and solve for y:
y+9=23
subtract 9
y=14

there are 9 red marbles and 14 yellow marbles!

Which of the following equations is not a linear equation? a. y = x + 6 b. y2 = x2 + 3 c. x = 5 d. 2x = 3y

vaieri [72.5K]

<h3>Of the four listed equations, B is the only equation that is not linear.</h3>

A linear equation is any equation that results in a straight line, as each value is a fixed number from the previous.

In a non-linear equation, a variable is being raised to a power, which results in a curved line.

The power P of a jet of water is jointly proportional to the cross sectional area A and to the cube ofthe velocity V. (a) Write

anastassius [24]

Answer:

a) $P=kAV^3$

b) 54

Step-by-step explanation:

If one quantity, A, is jointly proportional to other 2 quantities (B & C), we can write proportionality equation as:

$A=k*B*C$

Where

k is the proportionality constant

Now, for this problem, P is jointly proportional to A and CUBE OF V, so we can write:

$P=kAV^3$

Now velocity, V, is triples, which means it becomes 3V

Also, cross sectional area, A, is doubled, which means it becomes 2A

Let's put these into formula and see the difference:

$P=kAV^3\\P=k(2A)(3V)^3\\P=k(2A)(27V^3)\\P=(2*27)kAV^3\\P=54kAV^3$

So, power is multiplied by a factor of 54. Power becomes 54 times if Area is doubled and velocity is tripled ( as seen ).

Samuel has to sell concert tickets worth at least $90. The price of a child ticket is $8, and the price of an adult ticket is $1

zysi [14]

Answer:

The correct graph is the second one, that the line intersects x at 6 and y at 11.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Samuel has to sell at least $90. So, in this graph if he sell only child ticket, he will have to sell 11.5 tickets. Or if he sell only adult tickets, he will have to sell at least 6.
