Let x be the lowest positive number Then the other number = 5x.

So 5x - x = 72

4x = 72

x = 18

So the numbers are 18 and 90 answer

if you flip a coin and roll a 6-sided die, what is the probability that you will flip a tails and roll more than a 4

Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

When you a coin flips there are 2 possible outcomes which are either heads, or tailer, when you roll a die there are six outcomes, one to six. Putting these together means you have a total of 2×6=12 outcomes

EMERGENCY HELP! A steady stream of water flows into a partially-filled rectangular tank. After 6 minutes, there are 87 gallons o

german

Answer:

$y=9x+33$

33 gallons of water to begin with.

Step-by-step explanation:

So we essentially are given two coordinates: (6,87) and (21,222). To find an equation, we simply need to find the slope and y-intercept. We know it's a linear equation because it's a steady stream, meaning a constant slope.

The slope is:

$m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}=\frac{222-87}{21-6}=135/15=9$

So, the rate at which the stream flows is 9 gallons per minute.

Now, let's find the initial amount of water. To do this, we can use point-slope form. Pick either of the two points. I'm going to use (6,87).

$y-y_1=m(x-x_1)\\y-87=9(x-6)\\y-87=19-54\\y=9x+33$

So, there were 33 gallons of water in the tank to begin with.

The circle given by

mixer [17]

Typically, the equation of a circle is given like this: (x-h)^2 + (y-k)^2 = r^2, where r is the radius of the circle and the point (h,k) is the center. To find the value k, you need to put the first equation you have into this form. Standard form requires that you only have the1 y variable, as seen in the parentheses, so you first need to complete the square.

x^2 + y^2 - 2y = 11
x^2 + y^2 - 2y +1 = 11 + 1
x^2 + (y - 1)^2 = 12

And that puts the equation in standard form. k = 1.
