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

Answer:

To fill the sandbox, she would need 15 cubic feet.

To find the volume of a box, multiply all of its dimensions together.

6ft * 5ft * 1/2ft = 15ft^3

So, since she bought 20 cubic feet of sand, she should have enough with 5 cubic feet left over.

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

When dividing fractions, multiply the first number by the reciprocal of the second number

Now, multiply 2/5 and 3/1

2/5 * 3/1
