Answer:

This question is not as hard as it seems.

Let the first number = x.

The other number will be x - 16.

The sum of both the number is 52.

So, x+x-16 = 52

Which would simplify to 2x -16 = 52.

When I add 16 to both sides, it would give me 2x = 68.

Then, divide both sides by 2.

This leaves us with x = 34.

Since we have x, now x-16 would be 34-16 = 18.

The two numbers are 34 and 18, this answer is correct because both of them add up to give me 52.

HOPE THIS HELPS!

PLEASE ANSWER ASAP What is the solution of each proportion?
HACTEHA [7]
So first of all they are similar because they are in the same degree and the top and bottom of each one is equal, and so are the left and right. You need to set up a proportion of 10:3.12 and 5:1.2 because those are the sides that match up. They match because if you rotate the second figure to the right it would match the figure on the right. The only available answer then out of 10:3.12 and 5.12 is letter A. Hope this helps comment if you need any more help or it’s confusing.

0.25x = 11
x = 11 / 0.25

5 - 2 (a + 3b) / 2 = ? / ?
Semmy [17]

Answer:

(5-2a+6b)/2

Step-by-step explanation:

According to PEMDAS, we would multiply 2 by (a+3b) first. This would equal 2a+6b. Since this is being subtracted from 5, the numerator would equal 5-2a+6b. This would bring the simplified answer to (5-2a+6b)/2

Please help me with question 4!
Minchanka [31]

Answer:

I think that there might be some complex differential equation

stuff going on here if this were in the real world, but for the sake of this problem... may I suggest that the tank is filling up  at a rate of

1/8 of a tank per hour...

it is evaporating at a rate of 1/12 tank per hour

you can subtract the rates

1/8 - 1/12 = 12/96- 8/96 = 3/96 = 1/32 tank/hr

so to fill the tank it should take 32 hours...

I think the logic and math work... lets see if someone else will verify this analysis?
