Answer:

9 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

To evaluate 14 7/12 minus 5 1/4, recognize that the LCD here is 12 and that 5 1/4 must therefore be changed to 5 3/12.

Subtracting 5 3/12 from 14 7/12 yields 9 4/12, which, after reduction, is

9 1/3

X^2+y^2-10x-16y+53=0<br> What is the center of the circle?<br> What is the radius of the circle?

Anon25 [30]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

hello : Completing The Square

X²+y²-10x-16y+53=0 means : (x²-10x+25-25)+(y²-16y+16-16)+53 =0

(x²-10x+25)-25)+(y²-16y+64)-64+53 =0

(x+5)²+(y-8)² -25-64+53=0

(x+5)²+(y-4)² = 6² standard form

the center is (-5 , 4) and the radius : 6

The sum of the digits of a two-digit number is 12. The number formed by interchanging the digits is 54 more than the original nu

-BARSIC- [3]

Let X and Y be the digits.
If a two-digit number is written XY, then its value is 10x+y.
When the digits of the number are interchanged, it's YX, and its value is 10y+x.

The sum of the digits is 12.
The number formed by interchaning the digits is 54 more than the original number.

$x+y=12 \\
10x+y+54=10y+x \\ \\
x+y=12 \\
10x-x+y-10y=-54 \\ \\
x+y=12 \\
9x-9y=-54 \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ |\div 9 \\ \\
x+y=12 \\
\underline{x-y=-6} \\
x+x=12-6 \\
2x=6 \\
x=\frac{6}{2} \\
x=3 \\ \\
x+y=12 \\
3+y=12 \\
y=12-3 \\
y=9$

The digits X and Y are 3 and 9, so the original number is 39.

Hey 1200 seat theater sells two types of tickets for a concert. premium seats sell for $30 each and regular seats so for $20 eac

STatiana [176]

X = premium seats
y = regular seats
You need two equations: (x + y - 10 = 1200) and (30x + 20y = 30,180)
1.) Isolate one variable
y = 1,210 - x
2.) Plug the new equation into the second ORIGINAL equation
30x +20(1,210 - x) = 30,180
3.) Ditribute
30x + 24,200 - 20x = 30,180
4.) Add like terms
10x + 24,200 = 30,180
5.) Subtract 24,000 from either side
10x = 6,180
6.) Solve for x
x = 618
7.) Plug in x to the equation of your choosing
618 + y - 10 = 1200
8.) Solve for y
608 + y = 1,200
y = 592
The theater sold 592 regular seats and 618 premium seats.
