Answer:

54 marbles

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is a word problem leading to a simultaneous equation

Let 'x' represent the initial number of marbles with Sam, and let 'y' represent the initial number of marbles with Mary,

If Mary gives Sam 5 marbles, we have;

x + 5 = 2 × (y - 5)...(1)

If Sam gives Mary 4 marbles, we get;

x - 4 = y + 4...(2)

From equation (1), we get;

x + 5 = 2 × (y - 5) = 2·y - 10

x = 2·y - 10 - 5 = 2·y - 15

x = 2·y - 15...(3)

From equation (2), we have;

x - 4 = y + 4

∴ x = y + 4 + 4 = y + 8

x = y + 8...(4)

Equating the two values of 'x' in equation (3), and equation (4), we get;

2·y - 15 = y + 8

2·y - y = 8 + 15 = 23

∴ y = 23

From equation (4), we get;

x = y + 8 = 23 + 8 = 31

x = 31

The total number of marbles they have altogether = x + y

However, x + y = 23 + 31 = 54

Therefore;

The total number of marbles they have altogether = 54 marbles.

The answer to this equation​
12345 [234]

Answer:

x=3

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the equation

log5x=log(2x+9)

This can be rewritten as

log5x-log(2x+9)=0

Now using the quotient rule for logarithms we can combine these two

log(\frac{5x}{2x+9} )=0

Next we can remove the log by using an inverse operation

10^{log(\frac{5x}{2x+9} )} =10^0\\\\\frac{5x}{2x+9}=1

Now we can solve for x

\frac{5x}{2x+9}=1\\\\5x=2x+9\\\\3x=9\\\\x=3

I do not need an explanation, just a simple angle number!
Murljashka [212]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a + 143 = 180    {Linear pair}

a = 180 - 143

a = 37

37 + 93 + b = 180 {Angle sum property of triangle}

130 + b = 180

         b = 180 - 130

         b = 40

c + b = 90

c  + 40 = 90

c = 90 - 40

c = 50

d + 120 = 180   {Linear pair}

d = 180 - 120

d = 60

? = 60 + 40         {Exterior angle property of triangle}

? = 100

If the sphere shown above has a radius of 14 units then what is the approximate volume of the sphere
oksano4ka [1.4K]

Answer:

About 11494.04

Step-by-step explanation:

There is no sphere shown above but I can still get you the answer:

The formula for the volume of a sphere is \frac{4}{3} *π*r³

Putting in the radius, we get:

\frac{4}{3}*π*14³=

\frac{4}{3}*π*2744=

\frac{10976}{3}*π=

3658.66*π≈11494.04
