Answer:

42 and 21

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x and y be the two numbers

the sum of the two numbers is 63

y+x = 63

The difference between the numbers is 21

x-y= 21

so the two equations are :

\left \{ {{x+y=63} \atop {x-y=21}} \right.

add both equations to eliminate y

x+y+x-y = 63+21

2x =84

x= 42

y= 42-21 = 21

the two numbers are 42 and 21

Lexi bought 1 2/5 of green grapes and 2 3/10 of red grapes. Grapes are 2.99 a pound.Did lexi spend more or less then $12?
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]
Less. If you multiple 1 2/5 by $2.99 you would get about $4.19. If you multiple 2 3/10 by $2.99 you would get about $6.88. If you add those together, you would get $11.07, which is less than $12.

starting at home, Omar traveled uphill to the gift store for 30 minutes at just 10mph. He then travelled back home along the sam
SashulF [63]

Answer:

average speed for the entire trip is 15 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the uphill speed and y be the downhill speed.

We have been given that

Speed of Omar in uphill to reach gift store = x =10 mph

Speed of Omar in downhill to reach his home = y = 30 mph

We know the formula for average speed for the entire trip

\text{Average speed }=\frac{2xy}{x+y}\\\\=\frac{2\times 10\times 30}{10+30}\\\\=\frac{600}{40}\\\\=15

Therefore, average speed is 15 mph
