2 equations: the first one is the sum of 2 unknown numbers x and y: x + y = 72. Now the difference is 25, so x - y = 25. Solve the first equation for y: y = 72 - x. Sub that into the second equation to solve for x: x - (72 - x) = 25. x - 72 + x = 25 and 2x - 72 = 25. Therefore, 2x = 97 and x = 48.5 That's the larger of the 2 numbers; since we subtracted y from x we defined x as the larger of the 2. Just for fun, plug x in to find that y = 23.5
Answer:
18 days
Step-by-step explanation:
It depends on the number of frogs, but if there is one frog then it would be...
9÷.5= 18 (18 half cups in 9 cups)
Therefore, one frog can eat for 18 days because it is only eating .5 a day.
Answer: 41 degrees
Step-by-step explanation:
so, we know that a triangle is 180 degrees. since we know that one angle is 80 degrees, we can subtract that from the equation. now, we are trying to find what X is so that we can find the angle. here is how i did it:
i rewrote it and removed the parentheses.
4x + 1 + 4x + 19 = 100
then, i collected like terms and calculated it.
8x + 20 = 100
then, i moved the constant to the right.
8x = 100 - 20
then, i simply calculated it.
8x = 10
solution: x = 10
so, we just insert X into the angle for A. that gets us 4(10) + 1 = angle A
40 + 1 = angle A, hence angle A = 41 degrees.
