Hey user!!

your answer is here...

let the two numbers be x and y.

ATQ, their difference is 1.6

therefore x - y = 1.6

x = y + 1.6

sum of the two numbers = 6.1

==> x + y = 6.1

==> y + 1.6 + y = 6.1

==> 2y + 1.6 = 6.1

==> 2y = 6.1 - 1.6

==> 2y = 4.5

==> y = 4.5/2

==> y = 2.25

hence,

first number = x = y + 1.6

= 2.25 + 1.6

= 3.85

second number = y

= 2.25

cheers!!

For this case, the first thing we must do is define variables:
 x: unknown number (1)
 y: unknown number (2)
 We now write the equations that model the problem:
 their sum is 6.1:
 x + y = 6.1

 their difference is 1.6:
 x - y = 1.6

 Solving the system we have:
 We add both equations:
 x + x = 6.1 + 1.6

2x = 7.7

x = 7.7 / 2

x = 3.85
 Then, we look for the value of y using any of the equations:
 x - y = 1.6

y = x - 1.6

y = 3.85 - 1.6

y = 2.25
 Answer:
 
The numbers are:
 
x = 3.85

y = 2.25

A student earned a grade of 80% on a math test that had20 problems. How many problems on this test did the student answer correc
Georgia [21]

Answer:

Only 16 problems correct

Step-by-step explanation:

Well I thought that since 80% is  4/5 then I should do 20 divided by 5 which will get me 4 and since I'm doing 4/5 I should go all the way up to 80% of 20 which will get me 16.

I'm not making that much sense but

Hope this helps :)

Andy joins a social networking site. After day three, he has 25 friends; after day eight, he has 40 friends. Write the equation
Allisa [31]

Answer:

Point slope intercept form: The equation for line is given by; y-y_1=m(x-x_1) ......[1] ; where m is the slope and a point (x_1, y_1) on the line.

Let x represents the number of days and y represents the number of friends.

As per the statement:  After day three, he has 25 friends; after day eight, he has 40 friends.

⇒ We have two points i.e,

(3, 25) and (8, 40)

First calculate slope(m);

m = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

Substitute the given values we get;

m = \frac{40-25}{8-3}=\frac{15}{5} = 3

now, substitute the given values of m=3 and a point (3, 25) in [1] we get;

y-25=3(x-3)

Using distributive property; a \cdot(b+c) = a\cdot b + a\cdot c

y-25 = 3x - 9

Add 25 on both sides, we get;

y-25+25 = 3x - 9+25

Simplify:

y =3x + 16

if  x = 18 days, then;

y = 3(18) + 16 = 54+16 = 70

Therefore, he will have on day 18, if he continues to add the same number of friends each day is, 70 friends.

Number 2 I need help on how to solve it
Hunter-Best [27]

Let's simplify the following expression:

\text{ }\frac{\text{ \lparen2x}^4\text{ - y}^6\text{z}^{-4})^2}{\text{ 2x}^2\text{z}^3}\text{ }\cdot\text{ }\frac{\text{ 6x}^5\text{y}^{-4}\text{z}^{-5}}{\text{ \lparen2x}^6\text{y}^3\text{z}^{-3})^2}

We get,

\text{ }\frac{(\text{2x}^4\text{ - y}^6\text{z}^{-4})^2}{\text{ 2x}^2\text{z}^3}\text{ }\cdot\text{  }\frac{6x^5y^{-4}z^{-5}}{(2x^6y^3z^{-3})^2}\text{ }\frac{(2x^4-y^6z^{-4})^2(6x^5y^{-4}z^{-5})}{(2x^2z^3)(2x^6y^3z^{-3})^2}\text{ }\frac{(4x^8\text{ - 4x}^4y^6z^{-4}\text{ + y}^{12}z^{-8})(6x^5y^{-4}z^{-5})}{(2x^2z^3)(4x^{12}y^6z^{-6})}\text{ }\frac{24x^{13}y^{-4}z^{-5}\text{ - 24x}^9y^2z^{-9}\text{ + 6x}^5y^8z^{-13}}{8x^{14}y^6z^{-3}}

(k^2-6k^4)-(3k^4+k^2+2)
jeka57 [31]

Step-by-step explanation:

Vamos simplificar passo a passo.

k2-6k4-(3k4+k2+2)

Distribua o sinal negativo:

=k2-6k4+-1(3k4+k2+2)

=k2+-6k4+-1(3k4)+-1k2+(-1)(2)

=k2+-6k4+-3k4+-k2+-2

Combine os termos semelhantes:

=k2+-6k4+-3k4+-k2+-2

=(-6k4+-3k4)+(k2+-k2)+(-2)

=-9k4+-2

Responda:

=-9k4-2
