The greater of two numbers is six more

Mathematics
1 answer:
pickupchik [31]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

 

Let's begin by writing the mathematical equations given by the sentences.

 

Let X = smaller number

Let Y = larger number

 

The first sentence tells us

X + Y = 38

 

The second sentence tells us

X = Y/3 + 6

 

Since you weren't given a specific method to use, you can use either the substitution method or the elimination(addition) method, whichever works best for you.

 

Since the 2nd equation has the X isolated, I'm going to isolate the X in the first equation,

X = 38 - Y

 

Since both equations are equal to X, I can set them equal to one another and solve for Y.

Y/3 + 6 = 38 - Y

 

Y + 18 = 114 - 3Y

4Y = 96

Y = 24

 

Then use either of the two original equations to solve for X

X + Y = 38

X + 24 = 38

X = 14

Please help and show work
gladu [14]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

First I converted the fractions into decimals to make it easier to solve.

2 1/2 —> 2.5

1 3/4 —> 1.75

Then I added the two decimals together.

2.5 + 1.75 = 4.25

Then I divided this number by 100 (the number of cups in one bag)

100/4.25=23.529

With this equation I know that one bag lasts 23 full days.

This is almost a month, and so it would not make sense for the answers to be B, C, or D.

Hope this helped

Let's say we have a triangle with sides called a, b, and c, and that b is the base. Our triangle has a height that we'll call h.
Irina18 [472]

Answer:

16.34 square inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Base of triangle, b = 3 inches

Height of triangle, h = 10.89 inches

Question asked:

What is the area of this triangle in square inches?

Round your answer to the nearest hundredths place .

Solution:

As we know,

Area\ of\ triangle =\frac{1}{2} \times base\times height

                           =\frac{1}{2} \times3\times10.89\\\\ =\frac{32.67}{2} \\\\ =16.335

As, we have to find the answer to the nearest hundredths place, hence the area of triangle will be 16.34 square inches.
