The ratio of two numbers is 8 to 5. The difference in two numbers is 24. What are the numbers?

1 answer:

8 0

Let, the numbers are: 8x, 5x
It is given that, 8x - 5x = 24
3x = 24
x = 24/3
x = 8

So, 8x = 8(8) = 64
also, 5x = 5(8) = 40

In short, Numbers would be 40 and 64

Hope this helps!

PLZ HELP STUCK ON THIS QUESTION 4a + 6b = 24 6a - 12b = -6 Given the equations what is the value of a+b? PLZ HELP WILL MARK BRAI

Paul [167]

Answer:

a + b = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this system of equations, we can use a strategy called elimination, which is when we get rid of a variable by adding/subtracting two equations.

Firstly, we want to make sure the absolute value of the coefficients that equal.

Lets eliminate b:

4a + 6b = 24

Multiply both sides by 2:

8a + 12b = 48

We also have:

6a - 12b = -6.

Now lets add that with

8a + 12b = 48

-> 6a + 8a + 12b - 12b = 48 -6

-> 14a = 42

-> a = 3

Now that we know a, lets plug it into one of our original equations:

4(3) + 6b = 24

12 + 6b = 24

6b = 12

b = 2

Finally, add the two values we found:

a+b = 2+3= 5

Is anyone good with this? I need help finding the answer.

Answer:

parallel:

$7x - 8y = 60$

perpendicular:

$8x + 7y = 4$

Step-by-step explanation:

original line:

-7x + 8y = 4

m = 7/8

parallel:

m = 7/8

L: 7x - 8y = k

(4, -4) -> L

28 + 32 = 60 = k

L: 7x - 8y = 60

perpendicular:

m = -8/7

L: -8x + 7y = k

(4, -4) -> L

-32 + 28 = -4 = k

L: -8x -7y = -4

=> 8x + 7y = 4

Estimate the difference. 9 1/2- 1 6/7

Sav [38]

Answer:

$= 7 \frac{9}{14} \\$

Step-by-step explanation:

$9 \frac{1}{2} - 1 \frac{6}{7} \\ \frac{19}{2} - \frac{13}{7} \\ \frac{133 - 26}{14} \\ = \frac{107}{14} \\ = 7 \frac{9}{14}$

What two whole numbers is 29−−√ between?: 3 and 4 4 and 5 5 and 6 6 and 7

jolli1 [7]

The two whole numbers are 5 and 6 ⇒ 3rd answer

Step-by-step explanation:

To prove that a square root number lies between which two consecutive integers do that

Find a square number less than the number under the root
Find a square number greater than the number under the root
Find the square root of the square numbers, they will be the two integers that the root lies between them

∵ The number is $\sqrt{29}$

- Find a square number less than 29

∵ 25 is a square number

∵ 25 is less than 29

- Find a square number greater than 29

∵ 36 is a square number

∵ 36 is greater than 29

∴ 25 < 29 < 36

- Take √ for each number

∴ $\sqrt{25}$ < $\sqrt{29}$ < $\sqrt{36}$

∵ $\sqrt{25}$ = 5

∵ $\sqrt{36}$ = 6

∴ 5 < $\sqrt{29}$ < 6

The two whole numbers are 5 and 6
