They give us 2 pieces to the puzzle.  Both are positive numbers...x and y.
1.) 1 number is 1 less than twice another number. (x = 2y -1)...and
2.) the sum of their squares is 106.  (x^2 + y^2 = 106).

 substitute the value for x into the second equation.

(2y-1)^2 + y^2 = 106
(2y-1) (2y-1) + y^2 = 106  (use distributive property)
4y^2 - 2y - 2y + 1 + y^2 = 106  (subtract 106 from both sides)
4y^2 - 2y - 2y + 1 + y^2 - 106 = 106 - 106 (combine like terms)
5y^2 - 4y - 105 = 0  (factor)
(y-5) (5y-21) = 0  (set to 0)
y - 5 = 0
y = 5 

substitute the 5 into the equation for y   (x = 2(5) - 1)
           x = 9   if we square 9, we get 81.
subtracted from 106 we have 25...the square root of 25 is 5.

our answers are 5 and 9.

The two dot plots below show the heights of some sixth graders and some seventh graders: The mean absolute deviation (MAD) for t
AysviL [449]

Answer:

The number of times the variability in the heights of the sixth graders is the variability in the heights of the seventh graders is approximately 1.4

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, the mean absolute deviation (MAD) of the sixth graders = 1.2 and that of the seventh graders = 1.7

The variability in the heights of the sixth graders = 1.2

The variability in the heights of the seventh graders = 1.7

To calculate how many times the variability in the heights of the sixth graders is the variability in the heights of the seventh graders, we will divide the variability of the seventh graders by the variability of the sixth graders

That is, 1.7/ 1.2 = 1.4167 ≅ 1.4

Hence, the number of times the variability in the heights of the sixth graders is the variability in the heights of the seventh graders is approximately 1.4

Robert owns a doggy hotel. This is like a kennel but much fancier. Last friday the 14th he had 35 dogs that ate 3/8 of a pound o
Sedaia [141]

Answer:

the 7th

0.007805 or  59 / 756

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine the Friday that he needed more pounds, determine the number of pounds he needed per dog for each Friday.

to do this, divide the total pounds by the number of dogs

on the 14th

3/8 ÷ 35 =

3/8 x 1/35 = 3/280

on the 7th

1/2 ÷ 27 =

1/2 x 1/27 = 1/54

to determine which fraction is larger multiply each by 100 to determine its percent

3/280 x 100 = 1.071

1/54 x 100 = 1.852

1/54 is larger. Thus, more pounds was needed on Friday the 7th

the difference between these fractions should be determined  

\frac{1}{54} - \frac{3}{280}

\frac{280 - 162}{1512} = \frac{118}{1512} = 59 / 756
