Answer:

The numbers are 27 and 51

Explanation

x - y = 24

x + y = 78

Add together the equations

2x = 102

x = 51

Put into equation

51 - y = 24

27 = y

Answer:

51 and  -27

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of two numbers is 24 and their difference is 78. What are the two numbers? Let's start by calling the two numbers we are looking for x and y.

The sum of x and y is 24. In other words, x plus y equals 24 and can be written as equation A:

x + y = 24

The difference between x and y is 78. In other words, x minus y equals 78 and can be written as equation B:

x - y = 78

Now solve equation B for x to get the revised equation B:

x - y = 78

x = 78 + y

Then substitute x in equation A from the revised equation B and then solve for y:

x + y = 24

78 + y + y = 24

78 + 2y = 24

2y = -54

y = -27

Now we know y is -27. Which means that we can substitute y for -27 in equation A and solve for x:

x + y = 24

x + -27 = 24

X = 51

Summary: The sum of two numbers is 24 and their difference is 78. What are the two numbers? Answer: 51 and -27 as proven here:

Sum: 51 + -27 = 24

Difference: 51 - -27 = 78

a regular rectangular pyramid has a base and lateral faces that are congruent equilateral triangles. it has a lateral surface ar
Margarita [4]
A pyramid is regular if its base is a regular polygon, that is a polygon with equal sides and angle measures.
(and the lateral edges of the pyramid are also equal to each other)

Thus a regular rectangular pyramid is a regular pyramid with a square base, of side length say x.

The lateral faces are equilateral triangles of side length x.

The lateral surface area is 72 cm^2, thus the area of one face is 72/4=36/2=18  cm^2.

now we need to find x. Consider the picture attached, showing one lateral face of the pyramid.

by the Pythagorean theorem: 

h= \sqrt{ x^{2} - (x/2)^{2}}= \sqrt{ x^{2}- x^{2}/4}= \sqrt{3x^2/4}= \frac{ \sqrt{3} }{2}x

thus, 

Area_{triangle}= \frac{1}{2}\cdot base \cdot height\\\\18= \frac{1}{2}\cdot x \cdot \frac{ \sqrt{3} }{2}x\\\\ \frac{18 \cdot 4}{ \sqrt{3}}=x^2

thus:

x^2 =\frac{18 \cdot 4}{ \sqrt{3}}= \frac{18 \cdot 4 \cdot\  \sqrt{3} }{3}=24 \sqrt{3}       (cm^2)

but x^{2} is exactly the base area, since the base is a square of sidelength = x cm.


So, the total surface area = base area + lateral area =  24 \sqrt{3}+72   cm^2


Answer: 24 \sqrt{3}+72   cm^2

The cost of turkey is directly proportional to its weight. If a 12-pount turkey costs $27, how much does a 13-pound turkey cost?
Pavel [41]

Answer:

$29.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Divide the cost of the turkey by 12 to obtain the unit cost then multiply this by 13

cost = \frac{27}{12} × 13 = $29.25
