x = 2y

1/x + 1/y = 3/10

Since we have a value for x, let's plug it into the second equation.

1/2y + 1/y = 3/10

Now, let's make the denominators equal.

Multiply the second term by 2.

1/2y + 2/2y = 3/10

Multiply the final term by 0.2y

1/2y + 2/2y = 0.6y/2y

Compare numerators after adding.

3 = 0.6y

Divide both sides by 0.6

<h3>y = 5</h3>

Now that we have the value of the second integer, we can find the first.

x = 2y

x = 2(5)

<h3>x = 10</h3>

Let's plug in these values in our equations to verify.

10 = 2(5) √ this is true

1/10 + 1/5 = 3/10 √ this is true

<h3>The first integer is equal to 10, and the second is equal to 5.</h3>

Natasha2012 [34]

Answer:

D 40,000nm

Step-by-step explanation: 1nm/10^-9m * 10^-6/1um = 10^3 nm/um

Therefore in 40 microns there are:

40um * 10^3 nm/um = 40 * 10^3 nm = 40,000 nm

lukranit [14]

Answer:

The distance of the restaurant from the man and woman = 312.5 m

Option C is correct.

A distância do restaurante do homem e da mulher = 312,5 m

A opção C está correta.

Step-by-step explanation:

English Translation

A man is located 300 m from a linear (straight) road. On that road his wife is located 500 m from the man. Both walk towards a restaurant that is on the road and is the same distance from the two. What is this distance in meters?

A) 400m

B) 300m

C) 312.5m

D) 325m

E) 87.5m

Solution

A diagram showing the scenario described, is presented the attached image.

From the attached image, x is the distance of the restaurant from both the man and the woman. So, there are two right angled triangles,

- The bigger one with hypotenuse 500 m and other side 300 m, the third side is calculated as

(Third side)² = 500² - 300² = 160000

Third side = 400 m

- The smaller right angled triangle, with hypotenuse x m and other sides 300 m & (400 - x) m

(400 - x)² + 300² = x²

160000 - 800x - x² + 90000 = x²

800x = 160000 + 90000 = 250000

x = (250000/800) = 312.5 m

Hence, the distance of the restaurant from the man and woman = 312.5 m

In Portugese/Em português

Um diagrama mostrando o cenário descrito é apresentado na imagem em anexo.

Na imagem em anexo, x é a distância do restaurante do homem e da mulher. Então, existem dois triângulos retângulos,

- Quanto maior com hipotenusa 500 me outro lado 300 m, o terceiro lado é calculado como

(Terceiro lado) ² = 500² - 300² = 160000

Terceiro lado = 400 m

- O triângulo angular direito menor, com hipotenusa x me outros lados 300 m & (400 - x) m

(400 - x)² + 300² = x²

160000 - 800x - x² + 90000 = x²

800x = 160000 + 90000 = 250000

x = (250000/800) = 312.5 m

Portanto, a distância do restaurante do homem e da mulher = 312,5 m

Hope this Helps!!!

Give your answer as a whole number or as a mixed number in its simplest form.​
katrin2010 [14]

Answer:

5 3/7

Step-by-step explanation:

On this one all you basically have to do is 4+1 since they are both whole numbers, then attatch the fraction onto that.

4+1=5

A neuroscientist measures the reaction times (in seconds) during an experimental session in a sample of cocaine-addicted (n = 8)
Marysya12 [62]

Answer:

14.69 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

The weighted mean is used to calculate the mean of numbers which don't have the same "weight" or statistical relevance. In this case, that relevance is based on the sample size of each group from which the mean reaction times were obtained.

For all three samples, the weighted mean is obtaining by multiplying each one of the mean reaction times by its <em>n value, </em>adding them, and dividing that result by the sum of all n values.

WM=\frac{11*8+18*12+13*6}{8+12+6} =14.69\\
