Answer:
The 4th one
Step-by-step explanation:
-3-(-8)=5
One possible way:
-86+(4*12)=-38
-86 is the number where the diver is. 86 feet below the surface.
4*12 is the total number of feet he has ascended in 12 minutes.
Because he is ascending, so you add 4*12 (or 48) to -86.
The answer is -38, meaning he's 38 feet below the surface.
The diver is now 38 feet below the surface.
Hope this helps.
Answer:
The price of hot dog is $2.5 and that of a pretzel is $1.25.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the cost of hotdogs be x and that of pretzels be x.
So,
4x+3y = 13.75 ...(1)
and
2x+5y = 11.25 ...(2)
Multiply equation (2) by 2.
4x+10y = 22.5 ...(3)
Subtract equation (1) from (3).
4x+10y-(4x+3y) = 22.5-13.75
4x+10y-4x-3y = 8.75
7y = 8.75
y = 1.25
Put the value of y in equation (1).
4x+3(1.25) = 13.75
4x+3.75 = 13.75
4x = 13.75-3.75
4x = 10
x = 2.5
So, the price of hot dog is $2.5 and that of a pretzel is $1.25.
Answer:
The larger number is -6, the smaller number is -15
Step-by-step explanation:
We have two numbers, a and b.
We know that one number is larger than another by 9.
Then we can write:
a = b + 9
then a is larger than b by 9 units.
If the greater number is increased by 10 (a + 10) and the lesser number is tripled (3*b), the sum of the two would be -41:
(a + 10) + 3*b = -41
So we got two equations:
a = b + 9
(a + 10) + 3*b = -41
This is a system of equations.
One way to solve this is first isolate one variable in one of the two equations:
But we can see that the variable "a" is already isolated in the first equation, so we have:
a = b + 9
now we can replace that in the other equation:
(a + 10) + 3*b = -41
(b + 9) + 10 + 3*b = -41
now we can solve this for b.
9 + b + 10 + 3b = -41
(9 + 10) + (3b + b) = -41
19 + 4b = -41
4b = -41 -19 = -60
b = -60/4 = -15
b = -15
then:
a = b + 9
a = -15 + 9 = -6
a = -6
Edit: Misread the diagram, the previous answer was wrong.
