Hey there! ☺

Answer:\boxed{59\text{ and }31}

Explanation:

The first number can be written as x. The two numbers have a difference of 28, so the other number can be written as x-28. The total sum of the two numbers is 90. This can be written as an equation:

x+x-28=90

Add 28 to both sides to leave the variable by itself:

x+x-28+28=90+28\\x+x=118

Add the two x's:

x+x=118\\2x=118

Divide both sides by 2:

\frac{2x}{2} =\frac{118}{2} \\x=59

The first number is 59. The other number can be found by subtracting 28 from 59, since the difference between the two numbers is 28.

59-28=31

To make sure the answer is correct, you can try adding the two numbers to check if they equal 90.

59+31=90\ \checkmark

The answer is 59 and 31.

Hope this helps! ☺

What is the simplest way to explain scale drawings for middle school math?
Allushta [10]

Answer:

The simplest way to teach middle school math scale drawings is to use real pictures to relate to each other to explain the concept. For example, scaling a red ball of 1" to a ball of 2" and so on. This will show how the ball increases by size by adding 1" each time.

A car is driving at 65 kilometers per hour. How far, in meters, does it travel in 3 seconds?
kati45 [8]

Step-by-step explanation:

65 km / h = 65,000 m / 3600 s

what do we need to multiply 3600 with to get 3 ?

3600 × f = 3

f = 3/3600 = 1/1200

now, we need to multiply 65,000 by the same factor to get how many meters the car is driving in these 3 seconds :

65000 × 1/1200 = 65000/1200 = 54.16666666...

so, rounded, it travels 54 meters in 3 seconds.

Factor 1 and 2. You do NOT need to show or explain steps for 1-2.
kogti [31]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

x² + 9x + 18 = x² + 6x + 3x + 18

                   = x(x + 6) + 3(x + 6)

                   = (x + 3)(x + 6)

x² + 16x + 63 = x² + 9x + 7x + 63

                     = x(x + 9) + 7( x+ 9)

                     = (x + 7)(x + 9)

y² + 13y + 36 = y²+ 9y + 4y + 36

                     = y(y + 9) + 4(y + 9)

                     = (y + 4)(y + 9)

(a). Factored form of the expression (y² + 13y + 36) is (y + 4)(y + 9).

Therefore, Lyndsey's answer is wrong.

(b). Factors are (y + 4) and (y + 9).

(c). Factored form of the expression should be (y + 4)(y + 9) instead of Lindsey's answer (y + 6)(y + 6).
