So let’s make the smaller number x and the larger one y....
Set up your equation by following the words signaling mathematical operations from the question.
y = 8 + 4x
y + 4x = 40
Now let’s bring all variables to one side and solve the system if equations with elimination...
y - 4x = 8
y + 4x = 40
Add the equations:
2y = 48
y = 24
Plug the y-value into one of the original equations:
24 = 8 + 4x
16 = 4x
4x = 16
x = 4
And there you have it! The smaller number [x] is 4 and the larger number [y] is 24.
Answer:
152.98 square m but u can round off and write 153 square m
Step-by-step explanation:
X - speed of the current
40+x - speed with current
40-x - speed against current
t-time
(40+x)*t=100
(40-x)*t=60
40t+xt=100
<span> + 40t-xt = 60
</span> 80t =160
t = 2
40t+xt=100,
40*2+2x=100
80+2x=100
2x=100-80
2x=20
x=10 mi/h
10 mi/h speed of the current.
Answer:
200 words are peter can be type in 5 minutes.
Step-by-step explanation:
As given
If peter can type 80 words in 2 minutes .
i.e
80 words = 2 minutes
Now words type in 1 minutes.
1 minutes = 40 words
Now calculate number of words are type in 5 minutes.
Words are type in 5 minutes = Number of minutes × Number of words are type in 1 minutes.
Number of minutes = 5 minutes
Number of words are type in 1 minutes = 40 words
Words are type in 5 minutes = 5 × 40
= 200 words
Therefore 200 words are peter can be type in 5 minutes.
