The two numbers are 12 and 15

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Let the smaller number be "x"

Let the larger number be "y"

Given that,

<em><u>The sum of two numbers is 27</u></em>

Therefore, we frame a equation as:

Smaller number + Larger number = 27

x + y = 27 ------ eqn 1

<em><u>The larger number is 3 more than the smaller number</u></em>

Larger number = 3 + smaller number

y = 3 + x ------- eqn 2

<em><u>Let us solve eqn 1 and eqn 2</u></em>

<em><u>Substitute eqn 2 in eqn 1</u></em>

x + 3 + x = 27

2x + 3 = 27

2x = 27 - 3

2x = 24

<h3>x = 12</h3>

<em><u>Substitute x = 12 in eqn 2</u></em>

y = 3 + 12

<h3>y = 15</h3>

Thus the two numbers are 12 and 15

What is the average speed (miles/hour) for an object going 1500 feet in 1 minute. Round answer to two decimal places.
svetlana [45]

there are 3600 seconds per hour

5280 feet per mile

1 foot per second = 3600/5280 = 0.681818 Miles per Hour

 60 seconds per minute

 so 1500/60 = 25 feet per second

25 x 0.681818 = 17.05 miles per hour

Find the domain of the function.<br> f(x)= x+2/1-X
Ymorist [56]

Answer:

all real numbers expect  1.

Step-by-step explanation: This is a rational function. when we  usually the find the domain of a rational function we would look at the bottom because you don't want the denomonatior to be zero because dividing by zero in math makes the range undefined. so we use the equation and set it up to zero to find the domain. 1-x=0 -x=-1, divide by -1 and we get  1.  So x can be any numbers expect 1. Interval notation: (-∞,1)∪(1,+∞)

Weights of cars passing over a bridge part 2<br>​
DaniilM [7]

Step-by-step explanation:

The solution to this problem is very much similar to your previous ones, already answered by Sqdancefan.

Given:

mean,  mu = 3550 lbs (hope I read the first five correctly, and it's not a six)

standard deviation, sigma = 870 lbs

weights are normally distributed, and assume large samples.

Probability to be estimated between W1=2800 and W2=4500 lbs.

Solution:

We calculate Z-scores for each of the limits in order to estimate probabilities from tables.

For W1 (lower limit),

Z1=(W1-mu)/sigma = (2800 - 3550)/870 = -.862069

From tables, P(Z<Z1) = 0.194325

For W2 (upper limit):

Z2=(W2-mu)/sigma = (4500-3550)/879 = 1.091954

From tables, P(Z<Z2) = 0.862573

Therefore probability that weight is between W1 and W2 is

P( W1 < W < W2 )

= P(Z1 < Z < Z2)

= P(Z<Z2) - P(Z<Z1)

= 0.862573 - 0.194325

= 0.668248

= 0.67 (to the hundredth)
