18 and 35. The numbers whose sum 53 are 18 and 35.

The key to solve this problem is using a system of equations.

There are two numbers whose sum is 53. This number can be represented as x and y. So:

x + y = 53

Three times the smaller number is equal to 19 more than the larger. Let's set x as the smaller number and y the larger number. So:

3x = 19 + y

Clear y in both equations and let's use the equalization method to solve for x:

y = 53 - x and y = 3x - 19

Then,

53 - x = 3x - 19

53 + 19 = 3x + x ---------> 3x + x = 53 + 19 -------> 4x = 72

x = 72/4 = 18

To find y, let's substitute x = 18 in the equation x + y = 53

18 + y = 53 --------> y = 53 - 18

y = 35

Veronika [31]

Answer:

32 ÷ 8 + 1 __IS NOT EQUAL TO__ 3² - 1

4² __IS NOT EQUAL TO__ 4 • 2

3(x - 4 + x) __IS EQUAL__ 3x - 4 + x

when x = 4

15 ÷ (1 + 2) ___IS NOT EQUAL TO_ 15 ÷ 1 + 2

3(x - 4 + x) __IS NOT EQUAL TO__ 3x - 4 + x

when x = 2

How many sequences of 0s and 1s of length 19 are there that begin with a 0, end with a 0, contain no two consecutive 0s, and con

65 sequences.

Lets solve the problem,

The last term is 0.

To form the first 18 terms, we must combine the following two sequences:

0-1 and 0-1-1

Any combination of these two sequences will yield a valid case in which no two 0's and no three 1's are adjacent

So we will combine identical 2-term sequences with identical 3-term sequences to yield a total of 18 terms, we get:

2x + 3y = 18

Case 1: x=9 and y=0

Number of ways to arrange 9 identical 2-term sequences = 1

Case 2: x=6 and y=2

Number of ways to arrange 6 identical 2-term sequences and 2 identical 3-term sequences =8!6!2!=28=8!6!2!=28

Case 3: x=3 and y=4

Number of ways to arrange 3 identical 2-term sequences and 4 identical 3-term sequences =7!3!4!=35=7!3!4!=35

Case 4: x=0 and y=6

Number of ways to arrange 6 identical 3-term sequences = 1

Total ways = Case 1 + Case 2 + Case 3 + Case 4 = 1 + 28 + 35 + 1 = 65

Hence the number of sequences are 65.

How do i draw a decimal for example 0.26?
elixir [45]
First, you need convert the decimals into fraction

0.26 = 26/100 = 13/50

The next step would be drawing 50 small boxes on a piece of paper. Make it colorless.

The final stap would be giving 13 out of those 50 boxes with different color (such as black), and you're done
