Answer:

x = 6 , y = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve the following system:

{x + y = 10

x - y = 2

Hint: | Choose an equation and a variable to solve for.

In the first equation, look to solve for y:

{x + y = 10

x - y = 2

Hint: | Solve for y.

Subtract x from both sides:

{y = 10 - x

x - y = 2

Hint: | Perform a substitution.

Substitute y = 10 - x into the second equation:

{y = 10 - x

2 x - 10 = 2

Hint: | Choose an equation and a variable to solve for.

In the second equation, look to solve for x:

{y = 10 - x

2 x - 10 = 2

Hint: | Isolate terms with x to the left hand side.

Add 10 to both sides:

{y = 10 - x

2 x = 12

Hint: | Solve for x.

Divide both sides by 2:

{y = 10 - x

x = 6

Hint: | Perform a back substitution.

Substitute x = 6 into the first equation:

{y = 4

x = 6

Hint: | Sort results.

Collect results in alphabetical order:

Answer: {x = 6 , y = 4

2. The cone has a radius of 30 mm and slant height of 34 mm. What is the height h for this cone?

Flura [38]

Answer:

h = 16

Step-by-step explanation:

By applying the Pythagorean Theorem, the slant height is given by the formula:

$\sqrt{r^2+h^2}$

34 = $\sqrt{30^2 + h^2}$

$34^2 = 30^2 + h^2$

$1156 = 900 + h^2$

$256 = h^2$

$h = \sqrt{256}$

$h = 16$

5 more than the quotient of a number and 8 is 42

Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:

<u>The number is 296.</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call "x" to the number we are looking for.

Now, the problem states that "5 more than the quotient of a number and 8 is 42". This means that this number is being divided by 8, it's also being additioned 5 and the final result is 42. Therefore, the expression of this operations on this number is the following:

$\frac{x}{8}+5=42$ . Let's solve the equation to find x.

1. Write the expression.

$\frac{x}{8}+5=42$

2. Substract 5 from both sides and simplify.

$\frac{x}{8}+5-5=42-5\\\\\frac{x}{8}=37\\\\$

3. Multiply 8 on both sides and simplify.

$8*\frac{x}{8}=37*8\\\\x=296$

<u>We have found our number, it's 296!</u>

Which of the following pairs of numbers contains like fractions? A. 5⁄6 and 10⁄12 B. 3⁄2 and 2⁄3 C. 3 1⁄2 and 4 4⁄4 D. 6⁄7 and 1

ElenaW [278]

<h2>Hello!</h2>

The answers are:

$\frac{5}{6}$ and $\frac{10}{12}$

$\frac{6}{7}$ and $1\frac{5}{7}$

To find which of the following pairs of numbers contains like fractions, we must remember that like fractions are the fractions that share the same denominator.

We are given two fractions that are like fractions. Those fractions are:

Option A.

$\frac{5}{6}$ and $\frac{10}{12}$

We have that:

$\frac{10}{12}=\frac{5}{6}$

So, we have that the pairs of numbers

$\frac{5}{6}$

and

$\frac{5}{6}$

Share the same denominator, which is equal to 6, so, the pairs of numbers contains like fractions.

Option D.

$\frac{6}{7}$ and $1\frac{5}{7}$

We have that:

$1\frac{5}{7}=1+\frac{5}{7}=\frac{7+5}{7}=\frac{12}{7}$

So, we have that the pair of numbers

$\frac{6}{7}$

and

$\frac{12}{7}$

Share the same denominator, which is equal to 7, so, the pairs of numbers constains like fractions.

Also, we have that the other given options are not like fractions since both pairs of numbers do not share the same denominator.

The other options are:

$\frac{3}{2},\frac{2}{3}$

and

$3\frac{1}{2},4\frac{4}{4}$

We can see that both pairs of numbers do not share the same denominator so, they do not contain like fractions.

Hence, the answers are:

$\frac{5}{6}$ and $\frac{10}{12}$

$\frac{6}{7}$ and $1\frac{5}{7}$

Have a nice day!
