Answer:

x = 245

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of integers x and y is 280; x + y = 280

If x is divided by 7, the quotient is y; x/7 = y so x = 7y

Now you have 2 equations:

x + y = 280

x = 7y

Substitute x = 7y into x + y = 280

7y + y = 280

8y = 280

y = 35

x = 7(35)

x = 245

x = 245

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

x + y = 280

x/7 = y Multiply both sides by 7

x/7 * 7 = 7*y

So x = 7y

Put 7y into the top equation.

7y + y = 280

8y = 280 Divide both sides by 8

8y/8 = 280/8

y = 35

====================

x + y = 280

x + 35 = 280

x + 35 - 35 = 280 - 35

x = 245

I really need help, someone please help me

Hoochie [10]

Answer:

18.84 meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for a circle is πr^2.

πr^2 = 28.26

3.14 * r^2 = 28.26

r^2 = 9

r = plus or minus 3.

But since this deals with the area of a circle, there is no way a radius can be negative. So, the radius is 3 meters.

The formula for the circumference is 2πr.

2 * 3.14 * 3 = 6 * 3.14 = 18.84.

So, the circumference of the circle is 18.84 meters.

Hope this helps!
