Answer:

a=35

b=20

Step-by-step explanation:

a+b =55

a=b+15

b+15 +b =55

2b=55 - 15

2b=40

b=40 :2

b=20 (the smallest number)

a=20 +15 =35 (the largest number)

The sum of the measures of the angles is 180. The sum of the measures of the second and third angles is two times the measure of
grigory [225]
<h2>60,47,73</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the first angle be a degrees

Let the second angle be b degrees

Let the third angle be c degrees

It is given that sum of angles is 180 degrees.

so,a+b+c=180                      ...(i)

It is given that sum of the measures of the second and third angles is two times the measure of the first angle.

b+c=2\times a                     ...(ii)

It is given that the third angle is 26 more than the second.

c=26+b                                ...(iii)

using (ii) and (iii),

b+b+26=2a

b+13=a

using (i),(ii) and (iii),

a+b+c=a+a-13+26+b=a+a-13+26+a-13=3a

3a=180

a=60

b=a-13=60-13=47

c=26+b=26+47=73

21 cars, 32 motorcycles.
create a system of equations using x for cars and y for motorcycles.
\left \{ {{x+y=53} \atop {4x+2y=148}} \right.
multiply the top equation by 2 to prepare for elimination method
\left \{ {{2x+2y=106} \atop {4x+2y=148}} \right.
subtract terms
\left \{ {{2x+2y=106} \atop {-4x-2y=-148}} \right.  = (-2x = -42)
divide both sides by negative 2 to solve for x
x =21
plug in x  into original equation to solve for y.
21 + y = 53
subtract both sides by 21
y=32

kicyunya [14]

Answer: 29 weeks

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we are informed that Caroline bakes cookies in batches of 24 and that she bakes 3 batches of cookies per week. The amount of cookies baked per week will then be:

= 24 × 3

= 72 cookies

The number of weeks that would take her to bake 2,088 cookies will be:
