Maranda praticed a total of 52 hours in 4 weeks to prepare for a piano recital. If she practiced the same number of hours each w
RUDIKE [14]

The number of practice hours per week for Maranda's piano recital is 13 hours

Overall practice hours = 52 hours

Number of weeks of practice = 4 weeks

Since, the number of practice hours per week is the same ;

Number of hours practiced each week can be obtained by dividing the overall practice hours by the number of weeks of practice.

Number of practice hours per week = Overall practice hours ÷ Number of weeks of practice

Number of practice hours = (52 ÷ 4) = 13 hours

Therefore, Marana practiced for 13 hours each week.

One number is larger than another by 9. If the greater number is increased by 10, and the lesser number is tripled, the sum of t
kkurt [141]

Answer:

The larger number is -6, the smaller number is -15

Step-by-step explanation:

We have two numbers, a and b.

We know that one number is larger than another by 9.

Then we can write:

a = b + 9

then a is larger than b by 9 units.

If the greater number is increased by 10 (a + 10) and the lesser number is tripled (3*b), the sum of the two would be -41:

(a + 10) + 3*b = -41

So we got two equations:

a = b + 9

(a + 10) + 3*b = -41

This is a system of equations.

One way to solve this is first isolate one variable in one of the two equations:

But we can see that the variable "a" is already isolated in the first equation, so we have:

a = b + 9

now we can replace that in the other equation:

(a + 10) + 3*b = -41

(b + 9) + 10 + 3*b = -41

now we can solve this for b.

9 + b + 10 + 3b = -41

(9 + 10) + (3b + b) = -41

19 + 4b = -41

4b = -41 -19 = -60

b = -60/4 = -15

b = -15

then:

a = b + 9

a = -15 + 9 = -6

a = -6
