Ok so we have 2 equations here...

x + y = 76
1/3x + 1/2y = 34

First solve for x in the 1st equation...

x + y = 76
x = 76 - y

Now substitute 76-y for x in the 2nd equation...

1/3x + 1/2y = 34
1/3(76-y) + 1/2y = 34
76/3 - 1/3y + 1/2y = 34
-1/3y + 1/2y = 34 - 76/3
-2/6y + 3/6y = 34 - 25 1/3
1/6y = 8 2/3
y = 8 2/3 ÷ 1/6
y = 8 2/3 × 6
y = 52

Now substitute 52 into the 1st equation for y

x + y = 76
x + 52 = 76
x = 76 - 52
x = 24

The 2 numbers are 24 and 52.

The difference between the numbers is
52 - 24 = 28

The diameter of Joe's large pizza is 19 inches. Approximately how many inches are there in the circumference of the large pizza?
Burka [1]

Answer:

There are 59.66 inches in the circumference of the large pizza.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that:

Diameter of Joe's large pizza = 19 inches

Diameter = 2r

2r = 19

Circumference of large pizza = 2πr = 2r * π

Circumference of large pizza = 19*3.14

Circumference = 59.66 inches

Therefore,

There are 59.66 inches in the circumference of the large pizza.

The linear combination method gives a solution of (–4, 2) for which of these systems of linear equations?
otez555 [7]

The solution (-4,2) satisfies for the system of linear equations 3x + 13y = 14; 6x + 11y = -2

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Step 1:

Given detail is the solution of the equations (-4, 2) ie, x= - 4 and y = 2

This implies that this solution should satisfy the given linear equations.

Step 2:

Substitute values of x and y in the equations and verify whether the right hand side equals the left hand side.

System 1 Eq(1) ⇒ LHS = 3(-4) + 13 (2) = -12 + 26 = 14 = RHS

System 1 Eq(2) ⇒ LHS = 6(-4) + 11(2) = -24 + 22 = -2 = RHS

Therefore, the first system of linear equations satisfy the condition.

PLEASE HELP AND I NEED STEP BY STEP EXPLNATION
natulia [17]
The answer would be 12 feet square.

That’s because taking out the square is taking out an area of 4 feet square. If you substitute the 4 feet square back in, that would fill in the empty spot marked with the 2 feet by 2 feet dimensions. Then, you could treat it like a rectangle of 4 by 3. If you multiply them you’ll get 12 feet square which is your answer. Hope this helps
