Answer:

16 and 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Let (x+y) =20 and (x-y)=12 then:

Isolate for x in each equation

x=20-y and x=12+y

Set the equations to equal each other since the value of x should be the same for both

20-y = 12+y

Rearrange so that y is on one side and the numbers are on the other

8 = 2y

y= 8/2

y= 4

Now substitute the y- value back into either of the original equations

x+y= 20

x+4 = 20

Rearrange and isolate x

x = 20-4

x = 16

So the two values are 16 and 4

An ice cube is melting, and the lengths of its sides are decreasing at a rate of 0.8 millimeters per minute At what rate is the

julia-pushkina [17]

Answer:

The rate of decrease is: $43.2mm^3/min$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$l = 18mm$

$\frac{dl}{dt} = -0.8mm/min$ ---- We used minus because the rate is decreasing

Required

Rate of decrease when: $l = 18mm$

The volume of the cube is:

$V = l^3$

Differentiate

$\frac{dV}{dl} = 3l^2$

Make dV the subject

$dV = 3l^2 \cdot dl$

Divide both sides by dt

$\frac{dV}{dt} = 3l^2 \cdot \frac{dl}{dt}$

Given that: $l = 18mm$ and $\frac{dl}{dt} = -0.8mm/min$

$\frac{dV}{dt} = 3 * (18mm)^2 * (-0.8mm/min)$

$\frac{dV}{dt} = 3 * 18 *-0.8mm^3/min$

$\frac{dV}{dt} = -43.2mm^3/min$

Hence, the rate of decrease is: 43.2mm^3/min

William bought 114 juice boxes for his party. At the end of the party, he had 23 juice boxes left over. How many juice boxes did

slava [35]

Answer:

Number of juice boxes people drank at Williams party = 91

Step-by-step explanation:

Total juice boxes Williams bought = 114

Juice boxes left over at the party = 23

How many juice boxes did people drink at William's party?

Number of juice boxes people drank at Williams party = Total juice boxes Williams bought - Juice boxes left over at the party

= 114 - 23

= 91

Number of juice boxes people drank at Williams party = 91

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

He multiplied the four and the three first when he multiplied the equation together. However, according to the order of the operations, he was supposed to square three first. 3^2 = 9. Then multiplied 9*4 = 36.
