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

Finished the first one don´t understand these.
Mashutka [201]

Answer:

Let "x" be the number of people who can go to the amusement park.

So we have: 19 + 14x ≤ 180. This inequality basically means that the parking cost plus the cost of the tickets for every person cannot cost more than 180 dollars.

Solving this inequality, we get:

19 + 14x ≤ 180

14x ≤ 161

x ≤ 11.5

Obviously, we know that we can't have "half" a person, so the most people who can come to the amusement park would be 11 people, and the answer would be: x ≤ 11

Hope this helps!

help pls The circumference of the hub cap of a tire is 80.1 centimeters. Find the area of this hub cap. Use 3.14 for pi. Use pen
Liula [17]

Answer: The area is 510.25 cm². If the circumference of the cap were smaller then the area would be smaller as well

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you must find the radius

<em>80.1 ÷ 3.14 = 25.5</em>

<em>25.5 ÷ 2 = 12.75 <---- radius</em>

Then from that, you find the area

A=πr²

<em>12.75² = 162.5</em>

<em>162.5 × 3.24 = 510.25</em>

<em></em>

<em>Hope this was helpful!</em>

Write a system of equations for the following situation:
wariber [46]

Answer: B) a + c = 10

8a + 5c = 59

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that 10 total people went, so the first equation has to be equal to 10. The total was $59, so the second equation should be set equal to $59. Now that the second equation is for cost, we must make it 8a + 5c to represent the cost of the adult and child tickets which are $8 and $5, respectively.

A gutter at the edge of a roof drops 2 inches for every 30 feet of length. The measure of the angle to the nearest tenth of a de
g100num [7]
About 0.3 degrees, by estimation.  
The sixty-to-one rule is useful here.  At a distance of 60 units, the angle in degrees and the distance (in units) are about equal for small angles.  
Thirty to two inches is the same as sixty to four inches, about a third of a foot, so the angle must be about a third of a degree.  Rounded it gives 0.3.
