Answer:

  • Todd: 25
  • Andrew: 45

Step-by-step explanation:

We can let "a" stand for the number of goldfish Andrew has. Then the number Todd has is (70-a). We are told the difference is ...

  a - (70-a) = 20

  2a = 90 . . . . . . .  .collect terms, add 70

  a = 45

  70-a = 25

Andrew has 45 goldfish; Todd has 25.

<em>Comment on the problem</em>

I call this a "sum and difference" problem. You are given the total of two counts, and also their difference. If you were paying attention to the above solution, you see that <em>the larger of the counts</em> is (70+20)/2, <em>half the sum of the given numbers</em>. This is generically true of all <em>sum and difference</em> problems.

Knowing this, you can work most of these problems in your head.

Can the sides of a triangle have lengths of 10, 30, and 31? If so, what kind of triangle is it?
galina1969 [7]

Answer:

The lengths of the sides can be 10, 30 and 31. This would be a scalene triangle.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to determine if it can create a triangle, we simple need to make sure that the value of one side is not greater than the other two added together. In this case, 10+30 > 31, which means it can be a triangle.

A triangle with no matching sides is called a scalene triangle. Therefore, we know it is a scalene triangle.

What is the equation of a line, in Slope Intercept Form, with a slope of 1/3 and passes through the point (9, 7)?
levacccp [35]

The slope-intercept form:

y=mx+b

m - slope

b - y-intercept

We have the slope m=\dfrac{1}{3}\to y=\dfrac{1}{3}x+b

and point (9, 7). Substitute:

7=\dfrac{1}{3}(9)+b

7=3+b      <em>subtract 3 from both sides</em>

4=b\to b=4

Answer: y=\dfrac{1}{3}x+4
