I will try my best...


Let x and y be the two numbers.  


x = y - 4  


2y = 5x - 10  


Now, we solve the system of equations:  


2y = 5(y - 4) - 10  


2y = 5y - 20 - 10  


-3y = -30  



So...


y = 10  


x = 10 - 4 = 6

Let x and y be the two numbers.  

x = y - 4  

2y = 5x - 10  

solve the system of equations:  

2y = 5(y - 4) - 10  

2y = 5y - 20 - 10  

-3y = -30  

y = 10  

x = 10 - 4 = 6

There are nine empty seats in a theater, and six customers need to find places to sit. How many different ways can these six sea
dybincka [34]

Answer: 60480

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The number of empty seats in a theater = 9

The number of customers need to find places to sit =6

Since order matters here, so we use permutations

The permutations of n things taking r at a time is given by :-

^nP_r=\dfrac{n!}{(n-r)!}

Then, the number of ways to arrange 6 seat in 9 seats :-

^9P_6=\dfrac{9!}{(9-6)!}=\dfrac{9\times8\times7\times6\times5\times4\times3!}{3!}\\\\=60480

Hence, the number of ways to arrange 6 seat in 9 seats = 60480

Can y = sin(t2) be a solution on an interval containing t = 0 of an equation y + p(t) y + q(t) y = 0 with continuous coefficient
JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

y = sin(t^2)

y' = 2tcos(t^2)

y'' = 2cos(t^2) - 4t^2sin(t^2)

so the equation become

2cos(t^2) - 4t^2sin(t^2) + p(t)(2tcos(t^2)) + q(t)sin(t^2) = 0

when t=0, above eqution is 2. That is, there does not exist the solution. so y can not be a solution on I containing t=0.

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

<em />

<em>Amount earned in compound interest = P(1 + r)^n; </em>

Mr Frank purchased 5_1/4 pounds of rocks. He used 3/5 of a pound on one aquarium. He then split the rest of the rocks between hi
riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer:

1_11/20 pounds, or 1.55 pounds.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since at the beginning, he had 5 1/4 pounds and used 3/5, we subtract the amount of pounds. We are then left with 93/20 pounds, which he then splits among 3 containers. Dividing by three, we then get 31/20 pounds in one aquarium, or 1 11/20 pounds in each aquarium or 1.55 pounds.
