Label your numbers (I'm picking x and y)
x+y=35
2x=5y
find the relationship between your numbers
x=35-y
apply this to the other equation
2 (35-y)=5y
now simplify to find y
70-2y=5y
70=7y
y=70/7=10
now apply your newly found y to find x
x+10=35
x=25
check your answers
2 (25)=5 (10)
50=50
so our first number x is 25 and our second number y is 10

What is the exact volume of this cone?
Studentka2010 [4]

Answer:

  (b)  80/3π in³

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a circular cone is given by ...

  V = 1/3πr²h . . where r is the radius (half the diameter) and h is the height

Your cone has r = 4 inches and h = 5 inches, so its volume is ...

  V = (1/3)π(4 in)²(5 in) = 80/3π in³

The volume of the cone is exactly (80/3)π cubic inches.

What is the answer to 2 5/3-2 3/2=
jek_recluse [69]
First, we can convert both of them to improper fractions.

We do that by multiplying the denominator to the whole number, adding it to the numerator, and keeping the denominator.

2 5/3 - 2 3/2

So we have:

11/3 - 7/2

Convert both of them to denominators of 6:

22/6 - 21/6

Subtract the numerators and keep the denominators:

1/6

In a certain fraction, the numerator is 4 less than the denominator. If 4 is added to both the numerator and the denominator , t
love history [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If the new fraction is 8/12 I will show how to find it.

Let's say the original denominator is x, then the numerator is x-4, so we have (x-4)/x.

Then it says f we add 4 to both, so now we have x/(x+4) this equals 8/12.  Now, keep in mind -4 cannot be an answer because it would make x/(x+4) be divided by 0 which wouldn't exist.

Now we just use algebra.

x/(x+4) = 8/12

12x = 8(x+4)

12x = 8x + 32

4x = 32

x = 8

So the original fraction (x-4)/x = (8-4)/8 = 4/8
