We can solve this by setting up 2 equations. We can use any letters like. For now, I'll use x and y.
So now we know that x - y = 0.7 and x + y = 1.
Now we can eliminate one of the letters by adding or subtracting one equation from the other. I am going to eliminate y by adding the two together (the y and the -y cancel).
This gives us 2x = 1.7, and so x = 1.7 ÷ 2 = 0.85
Finally, we can substitute x for 0.85 back into one of the original equations to figure out what y equals. I'm going to use x + y = 1.
So now we have 0.85 + y = 1, so y = 1 - 0.85 = 0.15
The numbers, therefore, are 0.85 and 0.15 (you can check by using the other equation).
Hope this helps!
You divide 46 by 5.2 and the answer should be 8.8 inches.
18). 16:80 is the ratio but in simplest form is; 5:0
19). 36:54 is the ratio but in simplest form is; 2:3
20). 12:24 is the ratio but in simplest form is; 1:2
hope that helps:D
The population starts at 2000, so a=2000.
We also know that the population in 3 hours is 1000, so we can setup the equation:
2000 b^3 = 1000
This gets us:
b^3 = 1/2
And taking the cube root of both sides gives us:
b ≈ 0.7937005259841
Rounding that to 4 places, we have:
f(t) = 2000 (0.7937)^t
