Answer:

-49/3 and -25/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the numbers be represented by f and s (first and second).  Then f = s - 8.  Also, 2f = 3s + 9.  Solve this system for f and s:

Substituting s - 8 for f in the 2nd equation, above, yields

2(s - 8) = 3s + 9, or 2s - 16 = 3s + 9.  Then 3s = -25, and s = -25/3.  The first number is then f = s - 8, or f = -25/3 - 8, or f = -49/3.

Area and volume math question pretty simple please help no explanation needed just answers
Svetlanka [38]

Solution ,

length = 4m

breadth = 1.2m

height = 0.3m

Now

Area = l × b

= 4m × 1.2 m

= 4.8m²

Now

Volume = l × b × h

= 4m × 1.2m × 0.3m

= 1.44 m³

I will give you Brainliest and 500 points if you do this please

Answer:

1. C

2. D

Step-by-step explanation:

1.

Pattern A is adding by 2's (1 -> 3, 4 -> 6, 7 -> 9 and so on).

Pattern B is multiplying by 2's (2 -> 4, 3 -> 6, 4 -> 8 and so on).

2.

If 0.25 gallons of paint = 24 ft^2, then 1 gallon will equal?

Set up an equation:

Variable x = area of ft^2 for 1 gallon of paint

0.25/24 = 1/x

Cross multiply

0.25 × x = 24 × 1

0.25x = 24

To make calculations easier, you can convert the decimal into a fraction: 0.25 = 1/4

1/4x = 24

Multiply both sides by 4

1x = 96

x = 96 ft^2

Check your work:

0.25/24 = 1/96

0.25 × 96 = 24 × 1

24 = 24

Correct

konstantin123 [22]

Hey there! I'm happy to help!

We see that 500 languages is a certain percent of the 7,111 total languages. When working with percent equations, the word "is" means "equals", and "of" usually means "multiplied by" This means that 500 is equal to a certain percent multiplied by 7,111. We can use p to represent this certain percent and create an equation below.

500=7,111p

Let's flip the equation around so the p is on the left side. Variables are usually supposed to be on the left.

7,111p=500

We divide both sides by 7,111.

p=0.0703

As a percent, this is about 7.03%. Therefore, about 7.03% of the total languages spoken globally are represented on WikiTongues.

I hope that this helps! Have a wonderful day! :D
