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!

Cindy is selling circus tickets. On the first day she sells 6 adult tickets and 5 children tickets for total of 112.50. On the s
Ivahew [28]

Answer: Children tickets cost 7.50

Adult tickets cost 12.50

Step-by-step explanation:

Let a represent adult tickets

Let c represent child tickets

On the first day she sells 6 adult tickets and 5 children tickets for total of 112.50. This can be written as:

6a + 5c = 112.50 ...... equation i

On the second day she sells 8 adult tickets and 4 children tickets for the total 130. This can be written as:

8a + 4c = 130 ....... equation ii

6a + 5c = 112.50 ...... equation i

8a + 4c = 130 ....... equation ii

Multiply equation i by 4

Multiply equation ii by 5

24a + 20c = 450 ........ equation iii

40a + 20c = 650 ......... equation iv

Subtract iii from iv

16a = 200

a = 200/16

a = 12.50

Adult tickets cost 12.50

From equation ii,

8a + 4c = 130

8(12.50) + 4c = 130

100 + 4c = 130

4c = 130 - 100

4c = 30

c = 30/4

c = 7.50

Children tickets cost 7.50

Mike drank more than half the juice in his glass. what fraction of the juice could Mike have drunk?
maxonik [38]
He drank more than half of his drink... So we need to look for fractions greater than 1/2.

First, lets find equivalents of 1/2

\frac{1}{2}= \frac{2}{4} = \frac{3}{6}= \frac{4}{8}

If all of these fractions are equal to 1/2, then by adding to the numerator of these fractions, we'l have fractions greater than 1/2.

 2 +1 3
__= ___
 4      4

3/4 is greater than 1/2

Mike could have drunken 3/4 of the juice

4/6>1/2 Mike could have drunken 4/6 of the juice

5/8 is greater then 1/2 Mike could have drank 5/8 of the drink.

Answer=3/4, 4/6, 5/8 and many more possible fractions

How do you write 0.05 times 10=0.5 as division
yaroslaw [1]

0.05 * 10 =0.5

If you want an equivalent expression as division simply divide both sides by either 0.05 or 10 and it'll be dividing:

10 = 0.5/0.05 OR 0.05 = 0.5/10

Anna11 [10]

Answer:

Yes, there are infinite triangles with the same three angles but different side lengths

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

If two triangles are similar, then the ratio of its corresponding sides is proportional and its corresponding angles are congruent

therefore

There are infinite triangles with the same three angles but different side lengths
