Hey there!!
Let's take the number as x and y
Given,
The sum of x and y = 12
One number is 2 more than the other
Let's take y = x + 2
Equations
x + y = 12
As we know y = x + 2 , plug the value in
x + x + 2 = 12
2x + 2 = 12
Subtract 2 on both sides
2x = 10
Divide by 5 on both sides
x = 5
y = 2 + x
y = 7
The numbers are 5 and 7
Hope my answer helps!
In the real world you are not going to have a calculator on you 24/7. Nor will you have a pencil or paper to do longhand. You need to know how to accurately estimate your answers in order to be successful.
750*7.9%*8=474 is the account at the end of 8 years. Good luck
I am presuming that the question is who won or by how much did the winner win.
distance equals rate times time, or d = r*t
For the Hare d = 1600 and r = 10
1600 = 10 t
Divide both sides by 10
t = 160
The hare finished in 160 seconds
For the tortoise d = 1600 - 780 = 820 (due to the head start) and r = 5.3
820= 5.3 t
Divide both sides by 5.3
t = 154.72 (rounded to the hundredths place)
The tortoise won by 5. 28 seconds (160-154.72)
