The sum of two integers is 74. The larger is 26 more than twice the smaller. Find the two integers.

1 answer:

7 0

To find the answer,we can set up two equations:

Let the integer be x and y seperately,and x be the larger number:

x+y=74
y=74-x....(1)

x-2y=26...(2)

Put (1) into (2):

x-2(74-x)=26
x-148+2x=26
3x=26+148
x=174/3
x=58

Put the above answer into (1):

y=74-58
y=16

Therefore,the answer is x=58, y=16.

Hope it helps!

Which number produces a irrational number when added 0.25

Helen [10]

I think the easiest way to think about this is to put 0.25 into fractional form. 0.25 = 1/4 because 4 divided into 1 = 0.25

So 1/4 added to 2/9 will give us a fraction (rational number). Of course to determine what the fraction is, we have to get a common denominator.
(In case you wanted to know what that rational number is: The least common denominator would be 36. So changing 1/4 by multiplying top and bottom by 9 gives 9/36 and changing 2/9 by multiplying top and bottom by 4/4 gives 8/36 and adding 9/36 to 8/36 gives 17/36 - a rational number.)

What is the volume of a sphere with a surface area of 16π ft²?

zheka24 [161]

Sphere Surface Area = 4 • π • r²
For it to equal 16 PI, then radius must equal 2
4*PI*2*2 = 16 PI


Sphere Volume = 4/3 • π • r³

Sphere Volume = 4/3 • π • 2^3

Sphere Volume = 4/3 *PI * 8

Sphere Volume = 32 / 3 PI


Sphere Volume = 10.666 PI cubic feet AND I think that is answer B
which SHOULD read 10 (2/3) PI ft^3
