Answer:
17 students
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
There are some students playing soccer.
Five students decided to join the game and now there are twenty-two students playing soccer.
Question asked:
How many students were originally playing soccer?
Solution:
Let initially number of students playing soccer =
As given,
<u>After joining 5 more students, there are 22 students playing soccer, the equation will be:-</u>
Subtracting both side by 5
Hence, 17 students were originally playing soccer.
A digit is a number in one of the places, so for example the number 54 has two digits; a tens place digit (5) and a ones place digit (4).
Say the mystery number is a two digit number = xy
* that's not x times y but two side by side digits.
Info given:
<span>the sum of the digits of a two-digit number is 6
x + y = 6 </span>
<span>if the digits are reversed, yx the difference between the new number and the original number is 18.
**To obtain the number from digits you must multiply by the place and add the digits up. (Example: 54 = 10(5) + 1(4))
Original number = 10x + y
Reversed/New number = 10y + x
Difference:
10y + x - (10x + y) = 18
9y - 9x = 18
9(y - x) = 18
y - x = 18/9
y - x = 2
Now we have two equations in two variables
</span>y - x = 2
<span>x + y = 6
Re-write one in terms of one variable for substitution.
y = 2 + x
sub in to the other equation to combine them.
x + (2 + x) = 6
2x + 2 = 6
2x = 6 - 2
2x = 4
x = 2
That's the tens digit for the original number. Plug this value into either of the equations to obtain y, the ones digit.
2 + y = 6
y = 4
number "xy" = 24

Answer: Hi Hope This Helps :D
Step-by-step explanation:
We have to calculate the annual interest rate for the account. Formula for the simple interest is : I = P * r * t, where P is the investment, r is the annual interest rate and t is time in years. In this case: 1,800 = 10,000 * r * 4; 1,800 = 40,000 * r; r = 1,800 : 40,000; r = 0.045, or 4.5 %. Answer: The annual interest rate is 4.5 %
