Answer:

  • 3√5 ≈ 6.7082
  • 3√5 -2 ≈ 4.7082

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the larger number. Then x-2 is the smaller one. The sum is ...

  4x + (x-2)^2 = 49

  x^2 + 4 = 49 . . . . . simplify

  x^2 = 45 . . . . . . . . subtract 4

  x = √45 = 3√5 . . . . take the square root

The larger number is 3√5, and the smaller number is 2 less, 3√5 -2.

Mr. McKay wrote an algebra test with a total of 15 questions consisting of multiple choice and short response style questions. M
tankabanditka [31]

Step-by-step explanation:

x = number of multiple choice questions

y = number of short response questions

x + y = 15

5x + 10y = 100

=>

x + 2y = 20

let's subtract the first from the second equation :

x + 2y = 20

- x + y = 15

--------------------

0 y = 5

x + y = 15

x + 5 = 15

x = 10

to graph you need to consider both equations as linear functions. and you need to transform them into e.g. a slope intercept form : y = ax + b

a is the slope, b is the y- intercept.

x + y = 15

transforms to

y = -x + 15

this line goes e.g. through the points (0, 15) and (1, 14).

and

x + 2y = 20

transforms to

2y = -x + 20

y = -x/2 + 10

this line goes e.g through (0, 10) and (2, 9).

the crossing point of both lines is the solution and should therefore be the point (10, 5) as calculated above.

Elise picks 6 pounds of apples.She uses 1/2 pounds to make 1 container of apple sauce. How many containers of applesauce can Eli
Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

12

Step-by-step explanation:

  Mass of apples = number of containers × mass in each container

                     6 lb = No of containers × ½ lb

No of containers = 6/½  

To divide a whole number by a fraction, invert the fraction and change divide to multiply.

6/½ = 6 × 2/1

Multiply the numerator by the whole number.

6 × 2/1 = 12/1

Simplify the fraction.

12/1 = 12

Elise can make 12 containers of applesauce.

the length of one side of a square field is represented by the expression 3 - 7 x what is an expression for the perimeter of the

4(3-7x). Since there are 4 sides in a square, you multiply one length by 4 to get the perimeter. 4(3-7x) simplifys to 12-28x.

How to solve 76×327 step by step
hram777 [196]

Here's a method that takes advantage of the values of these particular numbers.

... 76 = 80 - 4

so

... 76 × 327 = (80 -4)×327

... = 80×327 - 4×327

Repeated doubling will give us values that are 2, 4, and 8 times 327.

... 2×327 = 327+327 = 654

... 2×654 = 4×327 = 654+654 = 1308 . . . . we'll use this later

... 2×1308 = 8×327 = 2616

We want 80×327, so we can add a zero to the end of this last:

... 80×327 = 26160

Now, we can subtract 4×327 to get 76×327

... 80×327 - 4×327 = 26160 -1308 = 24852 = 76×327

_____

More conventionally, you would multiply every digit of one number by every digit of the other and add the products according to their respective place values.

327 × 076 = (3×0)×10000 + (3×7 +2×0)×1000 +(3×6 +7×0 +2×7)×100 +(2×6 +7×7)×10 +(7×6)×1

... = 0 +21,000 +3,200 + 610 +42

... = 24,852

Note the pattern of partial products here. This is a method taught to/by practitioners of Vedic mathematics, and can be done in your head. At most, you would write down the partial product sums 21, 32, 61, and 42 to keep from having to carry more than one number in your head at a time.

If a hexagon is worth 5 and a triangle is worth 3, what is a circle
Olegator [25]

Answer:

6

Step-by-step explanation:

Call pentagon p, circle c and triangle t

We have 2c + 2p = 2p + 2t + c

p = 5, t = 3 so

2c + 2(5) = 2(5) + 2(3) + c

2c + 10 = 10 + 6 + c

2c = 6 + c

c = 6
