X = 2/3y - 2
x + y = 103

2/3y - 2 + y = 103
2/3y + y = 103 + 2
5/3y = 105
y = 105 * 3/5
y = 315/5 = 63

x + y = 103
x + 63 = 103
x = 103 - 63
x = 40

so ur 2 numbers are : 63 and 40

X + (2x/3 - 2) = 103 : Write the expression.
x + 2x/3 - 2 = 103 : Remove parentheses.
(x + 2x/3 - 2) × 3 = 103 × 3 : Multiply both sides by 3 to remove the fraction.
3x + 2x - 6 = 309 : Evaluate.
5x - 6 = 309 : Combine like terms
5x - 6 + 6 = 309 + 6 : Isolate x by adding 6 to each side.
5x / 5 = 315 / 5 : Divide by x to find its value.
x = 63.
63 is one of the number. Now, find the second number using its quantity.
2x / 3 - 2
2(63) / 3 - 2
126 / 3 - 2 = 40.
One of the numbers is 63, and the other number is 40.

The area of an artist's square canvas can hold 113 square inches of paint. What is the approximate length of one side of the can
xeze [42]
The area of any rectangle is:

A=xy, and a square is just a special rectangle where the two dimensions are equal.  x=y=s, where s is the side length so the area of a square is:

A=s^2  we want to solve for s so

s^2=A

s=√A, and we are told that the area is 113 in^2

s=√113 in

s≈10.63 in (to nearest hundredth of an inch)

Hello!

There are only six was to to role a number less than four. 1 and 1. 1 and 2. 2 and 1. 1 and 3. 2 and 2. 3 and 3 and 1.

The first number on the die could be 1, and the second die could have a probability of rolling the second number on it. Giving us a probability of 1/6.

We can subtract the calculated probability from rolling less than four from 1 to find the probability of rolling more than 5:

1 - 1/6 = 5/6

So, your answer should be D 5/6.
