Solve for x and y x+y=32 x−y=8

Mathematics
1 answer:
slega [8]4 years ago
7 0

Answer:

x = 20 y= 12

Step-by-step explanation:

x+y=32

x−y=8

Add the two equations together to eliminate y

x+y=32

x−y=8

----------------

2x  = 40

Divide each side by 2

2x/2 = 40/2

x = 20

We know x so we can find y

x+y = 32

20+y = 32

20+y-20 = 32-20

y= 12

The volume of a paint can is 215 in. If the height of the cam is 7.5 in, what is the radius to the nearest whole number?
kati45 [8]

formula for volume = V=PI x r^2 x H so replace letters with known values and work the problem out

215 in.^3 = 3.14 x r^2 x 7.5


215/(7.5x3.14) =  r^2/(7.5 x 3.14)


r^2 = (215/7.5x3.14) 

r^2 = 9.1295

Now, taking the square root of both sides, we get:

sqrt(r^2) = r

 sqrt(9.1295) = 3.021 

 r = 3 inches

Sqrt of 125
10^2 +b^2= 15^2
100 +b^2=225
B^2=125
No perfect square for 125 so leave it in radical form

Annabel has 25 ounces of a 20% boric acid solution which she wishes to dilute to a 10% solution. How much water does she have to
yanalaym [24]

Answer: 25 ounces

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation would be 0.2∙25+0∙x=0.1(25+x) because 20% of boric acid would be = to 0.2. water doesn't have any acid in it so it would be 0. since annabel wants a 10% solution that would mean that the total about would be 0.1 of boric acid. The ounces she needs for the 0.2 boric acid solution is 25 while the other is unknown so that would be x. when you put them together it would be 25+x. then you just multiply the ounces and the acid together and you get 0.2∙25+0∙x=0.1(25+x). when you solve it it would be x=25.

A mug is 1/8 full. The mug contains 1/6 of a cup of water. Find the capacity of the mug. Write the answer as a fration or mixed
Andre45 [30]

Answer:

The capacity of the mug = 1\frac{1}{3} cups

Step-by-step explanation:

Given - A mug is 1/8 full. The mug contains 1/6 of a cup of water.

To find - Find the capacity of the mug. Write the answer as a fraction or mixed number

Proof -

Let the capacity of water = x

Given that,

A mug is \frac{1}{8} full of water

⇒Total cups of water in the mug = \frac{1}{8} x

Now,

Given that, The mug contains \frac{1}{6} of a cup of water.

∴ we get

\frac{1}{8} x =  \frac{1}{6}

⇒x = \frac{1}{6} × 8

     = \frac{8}{6}

     = \frac{4}{3} = 1\frac{1}{3}

⇒x = 1\frac{1}{3}

∴ we get

The capacity of the mug = 1\frac{1}{3} cups
