If p + q = 36, and p -q = 20, then q = ?

Mathematics
1 answer:
Andrew [12]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

q = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

p + q = 36 → (1)

p - q = 20 → (2)

Add the 2 equations term by term

2p = 56 ( divide both sides by 2 )

p = 28

Substitute p = 28 into (1)

28 + q = 36 ( subtract 28 from both sides )

q = 8

About 2,000,000 people visited the aquarium last year. If this number were rounded to the nearest million, what was the greatest
notsponge [240]
Okay, so there's a number rounded to the nearest million, in this case 2 million. So this tells me that the number of visitors is between 1,500,000 and 2,499,999. The reason why 1,499,999 doesn't count is because the hundred thousands digit is not 5 or above, so it doesn't count. It would round down to 1 million, not 2 million. The reason why 2,500,000 doesn't count, is because the hundred thousands digit is 5, so that rounds to 3 million, not 2 million. The greatest number of visitors that visited the aquarium has to be 2,499,999, because that's one digit away from 2.5 million, and the hundred thousands digit is a 4, not 5. The answer is 2,499,999

Determine whether the stated conclusion is valid based on the given information. Explain your reasoning.
Oduvanchick [21]
The answer is D. The law of detachment states that
"If P than Q. P."
In this case passing the bar exam is P and getting to practice law is Q. So if we know that Candice is allowed to practice law if she passes the bar exam and that she did pass the exam. The conclusion that Candice can now practice law is valid.
