Answer:

\tt{34~and ~17   }

Step-by-step explanation:

let the first number is =x

second number is =y

<em>The sum of two numbers is 51 </em><em>=</em>x+y=51•••{1}

<em>the greater number is twice the smaller number</em>= x=2y••••••••{2}

<u>According</u><u> </u><u>to</u><u> </u><u>the question</u><u>, </u>

\bold{ x+y=51  }

\bold{2y+y=51 } \because{ (x=2y ) }

\bold{ 3y=51  }

\bold{  y=\dfrac{51}{3} }

\boxed{\blue{y=17 }  }

NOW put the value <em>y</em><em> </em>in equation {2}

<u>we</u><u> </u><u>get that</u><u>, </u>

\bold{ x=2×17  }

\bold{ x=34  }

Answer:

  • 34 and 17

Step-by-step explanation:

a) set up the variables

Let x represent the first number Then  y will represent the second number.

b) What is the equation that represents the above situation?

  • x = 2y
  • x + y = 51

c) Solve the equation.

<u>Substitute x in the second equation and solve for y:</u>

  • x + y = 51
  • 2y + y = 51
  • 3y = 51
  • y = 51/3
  • y = 17

<u>Then find x</u>

  • x = 2y = 2*17 = 34

Which expression is equivalent to:1/m6
Valentin [98]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

6 is a power. So both C and D are wrong because 6 is being treated as an ordinary integer.

So the answer must be either A or B.

B is not correct because to move an expression from the denominator to the numerator changes the sign in the base (which is m in this  question).

A is correct. the power is changed from 6 in the denominator to -6 in the numerator. m is shifted to the numerator as well.

A box of multi-color paper clips contains 25 red clips, 15 blue clips, 15 green clips and 20 pink clips. If Roy
kolbaska11 [484]

Answer:

8/15

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability is the ratio of the number of possible outcome to the number of total outcome. The probability that an event will happen added to the probability that the event will not happen gives 1. In other words, the outcome of a probability cannot exceed 1.

The probability that an event a will happen or that another independent event  b will happen is the sum of the probability that a will happen to the probability that b will happen.

Given that there are 25 red clips, 15 blue clips, 15 green clips and 20 pink clips,

total number of clips available

= 25 + 15 + 15 + 20

= 75

probability of picking a

red paper clip = 25/75

blue paper clip = 15/75

Probability of selecting red or  blue paper clip

= 25/75 + 15/75

= 40/75

= 8/15
