Let x is one positive number
<span>One positive number is 12 times another positive number 12x
</span>12x - x = 143
11x = 143
x = 143/11
x = 13

12x = 12(13) = 156

answer: 2 numbers are 13 and 156

double check:

<span>difference between the two numbers is 143
</span>156 - 13 = 143

Let x be the unknown number and let's set up an equation.
12x - x = 143
Now solve for x:
11x = 143
x = 13
The positive number is 13.

To make a specific orange color, a painter uses 14 of a can of red paint and 12 of a can of yellow paint. Fill in each statement

Otrada [13]

Answer: For every 1 can of red paint, the number of yellow paints used by the painter is $\frac{6}{7}$ and

There are approximately 29 cans of yellow paints for 34 cans of red paints.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of cans of red paint = 14

Number of cans of yellow paint = 12

According to question, we have to find that for every 1 can of red paint the painter uses what number of yellow paints;

Since the ratio of red paint to yellow paint is given by

$14:12\\\\7:6\\\\1:\frac{6}{7}$

So, for every 1 can of red paint, the number of yellow paints used by the painter is $\frac{6}{7}$

Similarly,

If Number of can of red paint is used = 34

So, Number of cans of yellow paint will be

$\frac{6}{7}\times 34\\\\=\frac{6\times 34}{7}\\\\=29\ approx.$

Hence, there are approximately 29 cans of yellow paints for 34 cans of red paints.

For problems 29 - 31 the graph of a quadratic function y=ax^2 + bx + c is shown. Tell whether the discriminant of ax^2 + bx + c

Elan Coil [88]

Answer:

29) discriminant is positive

30) discriminant is 0

31) discriminant is negative

Step-by-step explanation:

the graph of a quadratic function y=ax^2 + bx + c is shown. Tell whether the discriminant of ax^2 + bx + c = 0 is positive, negative, or zero.

In the graph of question number 29 we can see that the graph intersects the x axis at two points

so the equation has 2 solutions.

When the equation has two solution then the discriminant is positive

In the graph of question number 30 we can see that the graph intersects the x axis at only one point

so the equation has only 1 solution.

When the equation has only one solution then the discriminant is equal to 0

In the graph of question number 30 we can see that the graph does not intersects the x axis

so the equation has 2 imaginary solutions.

When the equation has two imaginary solutions then the discriminant is negative

Many bank accounts never go below zero. But some banks will allow a negative balance, at least for a short time, called an overd

Sergio039 [100]

Answer:

the amount after 3 weeks is $37.33

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that

His balance is -$48.82 i.e. overdraft

Now in order to get the positive balance, he plans to deposit the money of $28.55 per week

We need to find out the amount after 3 weeks

So,

= -$48.32 + $28.55 + $28.55 + $28.55

= $37.33

hence, the amount after 3 weeks is $37.33

Seven and two hundred sixty-seven ten thousandths as a decimal

coldgirl [10]

7.0267

Step-by-step explanation:

The clue here is that the decimal point follows after the "and"

For example,

One and one thousandth = 1 + 1/1000 = 1.001

One and two hundred sixty-three thousandths = 1+ 263/1000 = 1.263

Hence;

seven and two hundred sixty-seven ten thousandths= 7+ 267/10000= 7.0267
