The second of two numbers is 3 less than twice the first. Their sum is 36. Find the numbers.

Mathematics
1 answer:
o-na [289]4 years ago
3 0

Answer:

13 and 23

Step-by-step explanation:

create an equation to solve:

(2x-3) + x = 36

3x - 3 = 36 combine like terms

<u> +3 +3</u><u> </u> add 3 to both sides

<u>3</u>x = <u>39</u>

3 3 divide both sides by 3

x = 13

<u>13 is the first number</u>

the 2nd number is 3 let than twice the first so we create and solve a new equation:

2x - 3 = ?

2(13) = ? substitute 13 from the

smaller number to solve

<u>23 = the 2nd number</u>

The distance around a water fountain is 150 inches.What is the distance from the edge of the fountain to the center?
Scrat [10]

The distance from the edge of the fountain to the centre is approximately 23.87 inches.

The water fountain forms a circle. The distance around the water fountain is the circumference of the circle formed.

Therefore,

circumference = 2πr

150 = 2πr

The distance from the edge of the fountain to the centre is the radius of the circle formed. Therefore,

75 = πr

r = 75 / 3.14159

r = 23.8732616287

r = 23.87 inches

The distance from the edge of the fountain to the centre is approximately 23.87 inches.

A one compartment vertical file is to be constructed by bending the long side of an 8 in 8 in. by 10 10 in. sheet of plastic alo
charle [14.2K]
Th long side of the plastic sheet is bent into a U shape.
Therefore the dimensions of the file holder are 8, h, and (10 - 2h) as shown in the figure. 

The volume of the file holder is
V = 8*h*(10 - 2h) = 80h - 16h²
To maximize V, V'(h) = 0.
That is,
80 - 32 h = 0 
h = 80/32 = 2.5 in

V''(h) = -32 guarantees that V is maximum because V'' <0.
Maximum V = 80*(2.5) - 16*(2.5)² = 100 in³

Answer: h = 2.5 in

Help! I need 3,6, and 8
hoa [83]

Answer:

3. 11 (B)

6. (-2, 18) (D)

8. I see the answer choices now, it would be A.

I don't see any answer options, but anything that goes along the lines of the points form a line, it has a direct relationship, it is linear, etc.

Step-by-step explanation:

3. You are given the expression 6x^2 - 13 and told to evaluate it at x = 2

this yields 6(2)^2 -13 which is 24-13 = 11.

6. You are given the equation y = -9x and 4 choices for ordered pairs. Best way to do this is to plug in the values and see which one works. (But if you want to do this quick you realize that the since you are multiplying one of the values by a -9 this means that the signs of the ordered pair has to be opposite and that only occurs in D (-2, 18) Plug it in and it works.

8. Each time you pay for the meter, it costs $1 or 4 quarters. And you pay per hour. Therefore if the x - axis is time (hours) and the y axis was the number of quarters, you can see that for 1 hour you pay 4 quarters, 2 hours you pay 8 quarters, 3 hours you pay 12 quarters, etc.

You can connect the dots on the graph and you can see that it is linear, you can also verify this by finding the slope between each point and find that the slope (change in y / change in x) is all the same.

Hector, Sam, Ted, and Gina are comparing their savings. Hector saved twice as much money as Sam. Ted saved $100 more than Hector
lutik1710 [3]

Answer:

2x+50

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Hector saved twice as much money as Sam.

           Ted saved $100 more than Hector.

           Gina saved $50 less than Ted.

As given, lets assume the amount of money Sam has in saving be "x".

Now, finding saving of each person given.

Writing the algebric expression of each´s saving amount.

we know, Hector saved twice as much money as Sam.

∴ Hector saving= \$2x

Also, Ted saved $100 more than Hector.

∴ Ted´s saving= \$(2x+100)

Next finding Gina´s saving

As given, Gina saved $50 less than Ted.

∴ Gina´s saving= \$ (2x+100)-\$ 50

Opening parenthesis and solving it.

⇒ Gina´s saving= \$ 2x+\$50

Algebric expression of Gina´s saving= 2x+50
