Answer:
181 feets
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
Rate of change in water level = - 1.5 feets per month
Water level at beginning of May = 187 feets above sea level
Water level at the end of 4 months =?
Total change after four months = rate of change per month * number of months
= - 1.5 * 4 = - 6 feets
Hence water level after 4 months :
187 feets + (-6 feets)
187 feets - 6 feets
= 181 feets
5 pieces X 1.25 = 6.25
10-6.25 = 3.75 is the new length
Let's call the two numbers a and b. So we know that the difference of the two numbers is 36:
a - b = 36
And we know that their sum is 286:
a + b = 286
We can use either of these equations to solve for one of the variables in terms of the other variable. Let's use the first and solve for a:
a - b = 36
a = 36 + b
Now we plug this into the other equation and solve for b there:
(36 + b) + b = 286
36 + 2b = 286
2b = 250
b = 125
