Answer:

68

Step-by-step explanation:

Let The first number = X

& the Second one = X + 16

Sum of these two numbers = 120

X + X + 16 = 120

2X = 120 - 16

2X = 104

X = 52

So , the first number = 52

& Second one = 52 + 16 = 68

Answer:

The numbers are 52 and 68.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the first number and y be the second. The question tells us that:

1) x = y + 16

2) (x + y) / 2 = 60

2 equations, 2 unknowns. Solve the system. Plug equation 1 into equation 2:

(y + 16 + y) / 2 = 60

2y + 16 = 120

y + 8 = 60

y = 52

Now plug the value of y back into either original equation. I'll use the first:

x = 52 + 16

x = 68

ANTONII [103]

The cost of each bag of soil is $ 16.25 and the cost of each bag of fertilizer is $ 12.99.

<h3>What is the linear system?</h3>

A linear system is one in which the parameter in the equation has a degree of one. It might have one, two, or even more variables.

Mr. Ellis has started a vegetable garden.

He bought 15 bags of soil and 3 bags of fertilizer for 282.72.

He realized he did not have enough supplies so he bought another 5 bags of soil and 2 bags of fertilizer for 107.23.

Let the cost of each bag of soil be x and the cost of a bag of fertilizer be y.

Then we have the linear equations,

15x + 3y = 282.72

5x + 2y = 107.23

On solving the equations 1 and 2, we have

x = 16.25 and y = 12.99

The cost of each bag of soil is $ 16.25 and the cost of each bag of fertilizer is $ 12.99.

More about the linear system link is given below.

Solve for the formula for the indicated variable. Solve A=1/2bh for b.
choli [55]
B = 2A/h

The way you would get this is first by clearing the fraction. So in order to clear the fraction, you have to multiply the equation by the denominator.

2(A = 1/2bh)

2A = 1bh

2A = bh

Then you have to isolate the variable. So you'd divide bh by h in order to get b by itself. So you'd end up with:

2A/h = bh/h

2A/h = b

Solve x - 5y = 6 for x.<br> Ox= -5y + 6<br> Ox= -5y - 6<br> Ox = 5y + 6<br> Ox = 5y - 6
valentina_108 [34]

Answer:

See below

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve x-5y=6 for x

First, we need to isolate the x by moving -5y to the other side.

To do this, we need to add 5y to both sides

x - 5y=  6

  +5y   +5y

x= 5y+6

So, your third answer is correct
