This question involves systems of equations. You can use matrices on a graphing calculator or solve by elimination. Set this up as x+y=1212 and x-y=518. If you solve on a graphing calculator, click 2nd matrix then edit. Change the matrix to a two by three and input on the first line horizontally 1, 1, 1212 and on the second line 1, -1, 518. Then hit the quit button and go to the home screen. Click 2nd matrix again and hit rref and quit again and click on the name of the matrix. If you solve by elimination multiply the first one by -1 so your ys can cancel and then find x and plug in. So your two numbers are 865 and 347. 

-Trust me, learn how to do these on your calculator, it will minus the tricky solving of systems.

So write down your 2 equations:
 x + y = 1212
 x - y = 518

If you add them together, the y's will cancel out, leaving you to solve for you x
2x = 1730
x = 865

then substitute x back into one of your equations to find y
ex: 865 + y = 1212, y = 347
ex: 865 - y = 518, -y = -347, y = 347

Which of the following is not a case of direct variation?a Number of sheets of some kind and increased when their total weight i
VladimirAG [237]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If two variables, x and y have a direct variation, it means that an increase in x would lead to a corresponding increase in y. A decrease on x would lead to a corresponding decrease in y.

Therefore, we would compare the scenarios to determine which is not a direct variation. The correct option is

d) Time taken will be less if number of workers are increased to complete the same work.​

The rest are direct variation scenarios

Savannah is 9 years older thanDevante. The sum of their ages is 53. How old are Savannah and Devante?
pickupchik [31]

Answer:

Devante is 23 and Savannah is 32.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can set up a system of equations.

s - savannah's age

d - devante's age

s = d + 9

s + d = 53

Now we can substitute (d + 9) for s in the second equation.

(d + 9) + d = 53

2d + 9 = 53

2d = 46

<u>d = 23</u>

To find Savannah's age, we just add 9 to Devante's age. (plugging in 23 for d)

23 + 9 = 32

<u>s = 32</u>

The total land area of the world is about fifty-seven million, two hundred eighty thousand square miles. Write that number
expeople1 [14]

The total land area of the world is about fifty-seven million, two hundred eighty thousand square miles is 57, 280, 000 square miles

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that, we have to write the given words in number

The total land area of the world is about fifty-seven million, two hundred eighty thousand square miles

The number of zeros in million is 6

Here given that 57 million

So, 57 million means 57, followed by 6 digits

two hundred eighty thousand means 280 followed by 3 zeros

two hundred eighty thousand = 280 thousand

Thus the number is: 57, 280, 000
