Answer:

  26

Step-by-step explanation:

Even integers will only have a square ending in 6 if they end in 4 or 6.

The square will only have a value greater than 76 if the number is greater than 8, that is, 14 or 16, 24 or 26, and so on.

The "smaller" integer will only be smaller if the "larger" integer is less than 16.

So, the two integers are ...

  14 and (14^2 -76)/10 = 12

The sum of 14 and 12 is 26.

_____

In the graph, we let x represent the "larger" integer and y the "smaller". The shaded area is where x > y, and the curve is the constraint on their values. The two vertical lines are the even numbers whose squares end in 6, resulting in integer values for y.

Add 4 to boh sides
t/5+4-4=9+4
t/5+0=13
t/5=13

Inessa [10]

Answer:

The time (t) it takes to clean an office building is <em><u>directly</u></em> <em><u>related</u></em> to the number of people (p) working.

t is proportional to p

t = kp \\  \boxed{\red{\frac{t}{p}  = k}}

hey i know this may be a lame question but can anyone help me how can i multiply 16 with 3,142 (with steps) ?? :/
vovangra [49]

Answer:

50272

Step-by-step explanation:

Okay how I solve these equations is I take the problem apart like this:

3142 = 3000 + 100 + 40 + 2

Now we multiply each number by 16:

3000 * 16 = 48000

100 * 16 = 1600

40 * 16 = 640

2 * 16 = 32

Then we add all the totals together:

48000 + 1600 + 640 + 32 = 50272

Hope this Helps ;)
