Hey there!

Let's set up a system of equations to find our answer. We will use x and y, with y being the larger 1.

y=x+8

x²+y²=104

We plug our value for y into the second equation and we get that y is equal to two. We can then plug this into the first equation and we get 10.

Our two numbers are two and ten.

I hope this helps!

Let's plug our y value into the second equation.

x²+x²+64=104

<h3>Answer: 985</h3>

=============================================

Work Shown:

A = amount after t hours

P = initial amount = 100

r = growth rate in decimal form = 0.10

t = number of hours = 24

--------

A = P*(1+r)^t

A = 100(1+0.10)^24

A = 100*(1.10)^24

A = 100*9.84973267580762

A = 984.973267580762

A = 985

What is the value of the following expression?2 x [(12 + 2) x 5] + 32 divided by 2 number on top right 3

a_sh-v [17]

The value of the expression is $141.5$

Explanation:

The expression is $2 \times[(12+2) \times 5]+\frac{3}{2}$

The value of the expression can be determined using the rule PEMDAS.

According to the PEMDAS rule, first we need to perform the operation which is within the parenthesis.

Thus, the expression becomes,

$2 \times(14 \times 5)+\frac{3}{2}$

Multiplying the values within parenthesis, we have,

$2 \times70+\frac{3}{2}$

Using PEMDAS, we need to multiply the numbers.

$140+\frac{3}{2}$

Again using PEMDAS rule, divide the number,

$140+1.5$

Finally, using PEMDAS, let us add the values, we have,

$141.5$

Thus, the value of the expression is $141.5$

A winery has a vat with two pipes leading to it. The inlet pipe can fill the vat in 5 hours, while the outlet pipe can empty it

Rashid [163]

Answer:

$time=40/3hours\approx 13.3hours$

Step-by-step explanation:

The rates are additive: you can calculate the inlet rate and the outlet rate and add them algebraically, i.e. the inlet rate will be positive and the outlet rate will be negative.

1. Inlet rate:

$1vat/5hours$

2. Outlet rate:

$1vat/8hours$

3. Net rate:

$\text{Inlet rate - outlet rate}=1vat/5hours-1vat/8hours\\\\ \text{Net rate}=(8-5)vat/40hour=3vat/40hour=(3/40)vat/hour$

4. Time to fill the vat

$rate=amount/time\implies time=amount/rate\\ \\ time=1vat/(3vat/40hour)$

$time=40/3hours\approx 13.3hours$
