Two numbers total 42 and have a difference of 8 find the two numbers

1 answer:

5 0

X+y = 42
x-y = 8
x = 8+y

Substitute it in 1st equation,
8+y+y=42
2y = 34
y = 17

Substitute it in 1st eq.,
x = 42-17 = 25

So, the two numbers are 25 & 17

Hope this helps!

I asked this earlier and got no answer. Will give brainliest

The area of a square is

s • s

We can also write this as

s^2

So, for any side length “s”, we can make a function, A(s), such that

A(s) = s^2

Now that we have a quadratic equation for the area of a square, let’s go ahead and solve for the side lengths of a square with a given area. In this case, 225 in^2

225 = s^2

Therefore,

s = sqrt(225)

s = 15

So, the dimensions are 15 x 15 in

Kyle asked a random group of students what their favorite sport was. The results are below. Boys Girls Basketball 10 8 Football

Ronch [10]

Answer:

The probability that Kyle will pick a girl who likes football is 12.5%.

Step-by-step explanation:

The data provided is as follows:

Boys Girls Total

Basketball 10 8 18

Football 25 7 32

Soccer 9 19 28

Baseball 18 22 40

Total 62 56 118

Compute the probability that Kyle will pick a girl who likes football as follows:

$P(F|G)=\frac{n(G\cap F)}{n(G)}$

$=\frac{7}{56}\\\\=0.125\\\\=12.5\%$

Thus, the probability that Kyle will pick a girl who likes football is 12.5%.
