The sum of two numbers is 54 The difference of the two numbers is 116 Find the numbers

1 answer:

7 0

Answer:
85 and -31

step-by-step:
x + y = 54
x - y = 116
solve for x in first equation
x = 54 - y
sub into second equation
54 - y - y = 116
54 - 2y = 116
-2y = 62
y = -31
sub in x equation
x = 54 - (-31)
x = 85

What is the equation of the line ?

Akimi4 [234]

Answer: OPTION A

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of the line, by definition, has the following form:

y=mx+b

Where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

Calculate the slope as following:

$m=\frac{5-(-3)}{4-(-2)}=\frac{4}{3}$

Now, you must solve for the y-intercept, as you can see below:

$5=\frac{4}{3}(4)+b\\ b=-\frac{1}{3}$

Then, the equation of the line is:

$y=\frac{4}{3}x-\frac{1}{3}$

A jar contains 4 red marbles numbered 1 to 4 and 10 blue marbles numbered 1 to 10. A marble is drawn at random from the jar. Fin

ira [324]

we are given

A jar contains 4 red marbles numbered 1 to 4 and 10 blue marbles numbered 1 to 10

so, total number of marbles =10+4=14

the number of marble that is red or odd number=2

so, the probability of the marble is red or odd number is

$=\frac{2}{14}$

the probability the marble is blue or even numbered

= 1- P( the marble is red or odd number)

so, we get

the probability the marble is blue or even numbered is

$=1-\frac{2}{14}$

$=\frac{12}{14}$

$=\frac{6}{7}$ ...............Answer

When carbon is burned in air, it reacts with oxygen to form carbon dioxide. When 16.8g of carbon were burned in the presence of

dlinn [17]

The balanced chemical reaction is written as:

C + O2 = CO2

We are given the amounts of the reactants to be used in the reaction. We use these values for calculations. Since there is oxygen that is left in the reaction then the limiting reactant would be carbon. We calculate as follows:

16.8 g C ( 1 mol / 12.01 g) ( 1 mol CO2 / 1 mol C ) ( 44.01 g / 1 mol) = 61.56 g CO2 produced
