Answer:

x=24

y=36

Step-by-step explanation:

x=smaller number

y=larger number

x+12=y         x/2=y/3

                   x/2=(x+12)/3

cross multiply and distribute

                   3x=2x+24

                   x=24

24+12=y

y=36

The gross weight of a truck containing 30 pigs is 8 tons 1,123 pounds and 6 ounces. The average weight of one pig is 95 pounds 1
irakobra [83]

Answer: The net weight of the pigs of the truck is 1 ton 868 pounds 12 ounces.

The weight of the empty truck is 7 tons 254 pounds 10 ounces.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

The gross weight of a  truck containing 30 pigs = 8 tons 1123 pounds 6 ounces

Average weight of one pig = 95 pounds 10 ounces

Now,

We know that

1\text{ pound}=16\text{ ounces}

So,

\text{Gross weight of truck containing 30 pigs}\\=8\text{ tones }1123\times 16+6\text{ ounces}\\=8\text{ tons }17974\text{ ounces}

Similarly,

\text{ average weight of one pig }\\=95\times 16+10\text{ ounces}\\=1530\text{ ounces}

So, Net weight of the pigs in the truck

1530\times 30\\ =45900\text{ ounces}\\\\=\frac{45900}{16}\\\\=2868\text{ pounds }12\text{ ounces}\\\\=1\text{ ton }868\text{ pounds }12\text{ ounces }

So, the net weight of the pigs of the truck is 1 ton 868 pounds 12 ounces.

Now, we'll find the weight of the empty truck is given by

\text{Gross weight of a truck containing} -\text{ Net weight of pigs in the truck}\\=8\text{ tons}1123\text{ pounds}6\text{ ounces}-1\text{ton }868\text{ pounds }12\text{ounces}\\=(8\times 2000\times 16+1123\times 16+6)-(1\times 2000\times 16+868\times 16-12)\\=273974\text{ ounces}-45900\text{ ounces}\\=228074\text{ounces }\\=7\text{ tons }254\text{ pounds }10\text{ ounces}

Hence, the weight of the empty truck is 7 tons 254 pounds 10 ounces .

Which point is a distance of 5 units from the point (1,9)?
Fantom [35]
You just need to plot them on a graph and see how many spaces are in between each.  So if you plot (1,9) remember it's X, Y axis.  Start from zero on the graph.  Since it's positive go over 1 to the right and up 9.  Then do the same for the rest. Then count how many units are between each point on the graph and find the one that is 5 units apart.
