Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Small number = x - 14

Large number = x

x + x - 14 = 56

2x = 70

x = 35

Small number = 35 - 14 = 21

Large number = 35

Answer: small number = 21, big number = 35

Step-by-step explanation: let small number= x, big number= y

X+y=56

X-y =-14

Solving simultaneously adding the two equations

2x =42

X= 21

Substitute x in the first equations

21 +y =55

Y= 56-21

Y= 35

The diameter of a cookie is 2 inches. If π = 3.14, what is the area of the cookie, rounded to the nearest tenth?
insens350 [35]

Answer:

3.1 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of the cookie =Pi r^2

Pi = 3.14

Diameter = 2inches

Radius r = diameter/2 = 2/2

= 1

Therefore

Area = 3.14 x 1^2

= 3.14 x 1 x 1

= 3.1 inches

On a certain​ exam, Tony corrected 20 papers and found the mean for his group to be 70. Alice corrected the remaining 10 papers
son4ous [18]

Answer:

The mean of the combined group is 76.67 ≈ 77

Step-by-step explanation:

  1. The sum of the grades in Tom's group is 20×70 = 1400
  2. The sum of grades in Alice's group is 10×90=900
  3. The sum of gradees in the combined group is =1400+900=2300
  4. Then the mean grade of the combined group is \frac{2300}{30}=76.67

where

  • 2300 is the sum of the all grades in the combined group
  • 30 is the total number of people in the group

Quadrilateral abcd is a rhombus and points c, d, and e are on the same line. is quadrilateral abde a rhombus?
Step2247 [10]
No, because BC and BD are not the same lengths. If AB = BC, then AB and BD are not the same lengths -> ABDE is not a rhombus.

What is the y-intercept of the function f(x)=4 – 5x?<br> A:-5<br> B:-4<br> C:4<br> D:-5
Bogdan [553]

Answer: option C is the correct answer

Step-by-step explanation:

The y-intercept of the function is the point on the y or vertical axis at which the straight line cuts through it. The value on the y axis is read off as the y-intercept .

The equation of a straight line is modelled using the slope - intercept equation of

y = mx + c

Where m is the slope( change in value of y/ change in value of x.

c = the y-intercept

Looking at the function given,

f(x)=4 – 5x? Where f(x) is the same as y in our slope intercept equation.

Rearranging the function, it becomes

f(x)= – 5x +4

The intercept is 4

Option C is the correct answer.
