Step-by-step explanation:

x + y = 16 (*)

x^2 + y^2 = 146 (**)

(*) <=> x= 16-y

substitute x = 16 - y

(**) <=> (16-y)^2 + y^2 = 146

<=> y^2 - 2.16.y + 16^2 + y^2 = 146

<=> 2y^2 - 32y + 110 = 0

<=> y^2 - 16y + 55 = 0

<=> (y-11)(y-5) = 0

<=> y=11 or y= 5

For y = 11, we have x= 16-11=5

For y=5, we have x= 16-5=11

Answer: (x,y) = (11,5) ; (5,11)

2 2/3 of what number is 6 1/7

borishaifa [10]

$2\frac{2}{3}$ of $2\frac{17}{56}$ is $6\frac{1}{7}$

Solution:

Given $2\frac{2}{3}$ of what number is $6\frac{1}{7}$ .

Let us first convert the mixed fraction into improper fraction.

$$2\frac{2}{3}=\frac{(2\times3)+2}{3}=\frac{8}{3}$

$$6\frac{1}{7}=\frac{(6\times7)+1}{3}=\frac{43}{3}$

Now, let us take the unknown number be x.

$$2\frac{2}{3}\times x=6\frac{1}{7}$

$$\frac{8}{3}\times x=\frac{43}{7}$

Do the cross multiplication.

$$ x=\frac{43}{7}\times\frac{3}{8}$

$$ x=\frac{43\times3}{7\times8}$

$$ x=\frac{129}{56}$

Now, again change the improper fraction into mixed fraction.

$$ x=2\frac{17}{56}$

Hence $2\frac{2}{3}$ of $2\frac{17}{56}$ is $6\frac{1}{7}$ .

Round 389,422 to the ten thousand

frosja888 [35]

To round 389,422 to the ten thousand, you need to go to the second number which is 8 and round it to the right. To the right of 8 is 9 so if a number is more than 5 you round 8 to 9. Then all the numbers after 8 turn into zeros

So... your answer is:

390,000
