The difference of two numbers is more than 12,and one of the numbers is 3

1 answer:

6 0

X+y = 12
x-y = 3
x = 3+y

Substitute it in 1st equation,
3+y+y=12
2y = 9
y = 4.5

Substitute it in 1st eq.,
x = 12-4.5 = 7.5

So, the two numbers are 7.5 & 4.5

Hope this helps!

Ad libitum [116K]

Answer:

1/3 is the answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Tanya prepared 4 different letters to be sent to 4 different addresses.

To solve this we can do the following:

The probability that the 1st letter is in the right envelope is = $\frac{1}{4}$

The probability that the 2nd letter is in the wrong envelope is = $\frac{2}{3}$

The probability that the 3rd letter is in the wrong envelope is = $\frac{1}{2}$

The probability that the 4th letter is in the wrong envelope is = 1

So, the answer becomes: $\frac{1}{4}\times \frac{2}{3}\times \frac{1}{2}\times1$ = $\frac{1}{12}$

As we need 4 correct letters in the envelope, we will multiply by 4:

$\frac{1}{12}\times4=\frac{1}{3}$

Jayden used a Groupon at the local pizza shop. Instead of paying $15, for the pizza, he paid $12.

DENIUS [597]

Answer:

She is correct because they need to find how much is the discounted price, which is 3. So to see what percentage it is, they need to see how much 3 is worth in comparison to 15. If we spilt 15 into 5 parts to make every part worth 20%, the answer would be 3. Thus Arianna is correct.
