Hey there!!

Let us take the first number as ' x '

According to the question

The second number exceeds the first number by 15

hence, the second number = x+15

The sum of both the numbers = 69

which means

x + x + 15 = 69

2x+15 = 69

Subtracting by 15 on both sides

2x + 15 - 15 = 69 - 15

2x = 54

dividing by  2 on both sides

x = 27

first number = 27

second number = 27 + 15

= 42

Hope my answer helps!

8.1 = 0.9a, how do you solve?
GrogVix [38]

Answer:

a = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying

8.1 = 0.9a

Solving

8.1 = 0.9a

Solving for variable 'a'.

Move all terms containing a to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-0.9a' to each side of the equation.

8.1 + -0.9a = 0.9a + -0.9a

Combine like terms: 0.9a + -0.9a = 0.0

8.1 + -0.9a = 0.0

Add '-8.1' to each side of the equation.

8.1 + -8.1 + -0.9a = 0.0 + -8.1

Combine like terms: 8.1 + -8.1 = 0.0

0.0 + -0.9a = 0.0 + -8.1

-0.9a = 0.0 + -8.1

Combine like terms: 0.0 + -8.1 = -8.1

-0.9a = -8.1

Divide each side by '-0.9'.

a = 9

Simplifying

a = 9

Which would be an equivalent way to write y= 2 - 3x ?
Fudgin [204]
The answer is B, because the numbers in the equation are 2, and -3x. The signs have to stay with the numbers they are with. So if you move the 3 to the front you have to keep the negative with it.

1. Are there more inches in a mile or second in a day?​
Sedaia [141]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

60 x 60 = 3600

3600 x 24

5280 x 12

I know for steps 2 and 3 to be equal, 3600 would have to be half of 5280 because 24 is twice 12, and it’s not. And because 3600 is more than half of 5280, I know that 3600 times 24 is more than 5280 times 12. My answer, therefore, is there are more seconds in a day.
