Answer:

x = 10

The second number is 50

Step-by-step explanation:

Givens

The first number = x

The second number = 5x

Together when added the answer is 60

Equation

x + 5x = 60        Combine like terms

Solution

6x = 60              Divide by 6

6x/6 = 60/6

x = 10

BaLLatris [955]
Because this is a two-way table, the answer would be that 166 people were polled in total. Why? Well, there are lots of corresponding patterns leading up to this answer. We can easily find the answer by looking at the problem two different ways:

1st way: Identifying the missing solution by rows.

27 + 21 = 48 and 42 + 76 = 118, so we can find the missing value by adding 69 and 97 to get 166.

2nd way: Identifying the missing solution by columns.

27 + 42 = 69 and 21 + 76 = 97, so we can find the missing value by adding 48 and 118 to get 166, our missing solution.

Your final answer: 166 people were polled. Your answer would be D. If you need to better understand this, let me know and I will gladly assist you.

3x + 40 = 11x -24<br><br> What does x equal?
pogonyaev
First, you would have to do 11x + 3x Since you're combining like terms.

Now your problem is 14x + 40 = -24

Now you would do 40 - -24 which is now 40+24 and equal to 64.

Now you divide 14 by 64 and you get 4.5

The New England patriots scored 9 points in the first half. In the second half they scored 3 less than 2 times the points in the
Rom4ik [11]

Answer:

S : T = 5 : 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Represent the first half with F and the second with S

We have that:

F = 9 --- From the first statement

S = 2F - 3 --- From the next statement

Required

Determine the ratio of S to the total point

First, we need to determine the value of S

Substitute 9 for F in S = 2F - 3

S = 2 * 9 - 3

S = 18 - 3

S = 15

Next, we determine the total points

Total =  F + S

Total =  9 + 15

Total =  24

The ratio of S to total is: (Represent total with T)

S : T = 15 : 24

Divide both ration by 3

S : T = 15/3 : 24/3

S : T = 5 : 8

<em>Hence, the ratio is 5 to 8</em>

Hey! This is a maximum because that's where it peaks. It doesn't go any higher from there so the coordinates are (0,-1) or A.
