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

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

m=p/3

t=(3/10)(1-1/3)

t=(3/10)(2/3)=p/5

p-p/3-p/5=35

(15p-5p-3p)/15=35

7p/15=35

7p=525

p=75

So the book has 75 pages.

-9(-3 1/3 - 4) how do I solve that math problem?
svetoff [14.1K]
You need to use the distributive property. So you take the -9 from outside the parentheses and multiply itself by the numbers inside.
