Answer:

The numbers are 165 and 113

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> one number

y ----> the other number

we know that

x+y=278 ----> equation A

x=y+52 ----> equation B

substitute equation B in equation A

(y+52)+y=278

solve for y

2y=278-52

2y=226

y=113

<em>Find the value of x</em>

x=y+52

x=113+52=165

therefore

The numbers are 165 and 113

You are going to create a circle graph to represent some data. How many degrees should a section representing 65 out of a hundre
hjlf

To figure out the degrees, you would create a ratio.

Since there are 360 degrees in your circle, that would be representative to 100 (because both are the total of what you want to find), and x would be representative to what degrees 65 is equal to.

your ratio should look like,

65/100=x/360

cross multiply and get

65(360)=100x

23400=100x

x=234


It looks hard to read like this, but if you write it out on your paper it should make more sense!

A group of 2 adults and 4 children spent $38 on tickets to a museum. A group of 3 adults and 3 children spent $40.50 on tickets
mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer:

adult $8.00

child $5.50

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the price of 1 adult ticket = x.

Let the price of 1 child ticket = y.

2x + 4y = 38

3x + 3y = 40.5

Multiply the first equation by 3. Multiply the second equation by -2. Then add them.

         6x + 12y = 114

(+)      -6x - 6y = -81

-----------------------------

                  6y = 33

y = 33/6

y = 5.5

2x + 4y = 38

2x + 4(5.5) = 38

2x + 22 = 38

2x = 16

x = 8

Answer:

adult $8.00

child $5.50
