Answer:
8 grams
Step-by-step explanation:
The balance is in equilibrium, so the weights of the two sides are equal.
Let the weight of a square be s.
Left side: 2s + 4
Right side: s + 3(4) = s + 12
The weights are equal, so we set the two expressions equal.
2s + 4 = s + 12
s = 8
Answer: The weight of a square is 8 grams.
Question 2: The first step was the combine the like terms; in this example he is subtracting the 3x on both sides of the =.
Answer:his speed in still air is 6 miles per minute.
the speed of the wind is 1 mile per minute.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent his speed in still air.
Let y represent the speed of the wind.
It takes Jack Frost 5 minutes to fly 35 miles with the wind. This means that his total speed would be x + y
Distance = speed × time
It means that
35 = 5(x + y)
35 = 5x + 5y - - - - - - - - - - -1
It takes him 7 minutes to go 35 miles against the wind. This means that his total speed would be x - y
It means that
35 = 7(x - y)
35 = 7x - 7y - - - - - - - - - - -2
Multiplying equation 1 by 7 and equation 2 by 5, it becomes
245 = 35x + 35y
175 = 35x - 35y
Adding both equations, it becomes
420 = 70x
x = 420/70 = 6
Substituting x = 6 into equation 1, it becomes
35 = 5 × 6 + 5y
35 = 30 + 5y
5y = 35 - 30 = 5
y = 5/5 = 1
A) I would make the positive integer x and then form an equation.
x + 30 = x^2 - 12
x + 42 = x^2
0 = x^2 - x - 42 this can be factorised
(x - 7) ( x + 6) Therefore x = 7 or x = -6
Since the question asks for a positive integer the answer is 7.
B) two positive numbers x and y.
X - y = 3
x^2 + y^2 = 117
Use these simultaneous equations to figure out each number.
Rearrange the first equation
x = y + 3
Then substitute it into the second equation.
(y+3)^2 + y^2 = 117
y^2 + 6y + 9 + y^2 = 117
2y^2 + 6y - 108 = 0
then factorise this.
(2y - 12) (y + 9)
This means that y = 6 or y = -9 but it’s 6 because that’s the only positive number.
Use y to find x
x = y + 3
x = 6 + 3
x = 9
So the answers are x = 9 and y = 6.
The answer is 78. This is because you change 8 2/3 into a improper fraction which is 26/3. Then do 26/3×9/1. You should cross cancel so cancel out 3 and change it into 1 and change 9 into 3. So now your problem is 26×3=78.
