Answer:

x = 48 and y = 104

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equations are:

$x+y = 152\\8.5x+12y=1656$

From equation 1:

$x = 152-y$

Putting the value of y in equation 2

$8.5(152-y)+12y = 1656\\1292-8.5y+12y = 1656\\3.5y+1292 = 1656\\3.5y = 1656-1292\\3.5y = 364\\\frac{3.5y}{3.5} = \frac{364}{3.5}\\y = 104$

Now we have to put the value of y in one of the equation to find the value of x

Putting y = 104 in the first equation

$x+y = 152\\x+ 104 = 152\\x = 152-104\\x = 48$

Hence,

The solution of the system of equations is x = 48 and y = 104

The value of variable which was assumed for number of hats, is the total number of hats.

Is the statement (3^5)^4 equal to (3^4)^5 ? explain the reasoning, DUE TOMORROW

Shkiper50 [21]

Note that both 5 and 4 are exponents, and their product is 5*4=20, or 4*5=20. Thus,

(3^5)^4 is equal to (3^4)^5

Review:

(a to the power b)to the power c = a to the power bc.

Thus, (3 to the power 5)^4 = 3^20; the same is true if you reverse the positions of the 5 and the 4.

Answer:

Volume of composite is 483 $mm^3$

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to add the volume of a rectangular prism (7 mm x 12 mm x 3 mm) to a semi-cylinder (of radius 3.5 mm and height 12 mm):

Volume of the prism = 7 x 12 x 3 $mm^3$ = 252 $mm^3$

Volume of the semi-cylinder = $\frac{\pi\,\,R^2\,\,H}{2} = \frac{\pi\,\,(3.5)^2\,\,(12)}{2} =230.907 \,\,mm^3$

Therefore the sum of both volumes gives:

(252 + 230.907) $mm^3$ = 482.907 $mm^3$

WHich can be rounded to the nearest whole number as: 483 $mm^3$

The sum of the squares of 3 consecutive positive integers is 116. What are the numbers?

irina [24]

1st number = n
2nd number = n+1
3rd number = n+2

sum of the squares of 3 consecutive numbers is 116

n² + (n+1)² + (n+2)² = 116
n² + (n+1)(n+1) + (n+2)(n+2) = 116
n² + [n(n+1)+1(n+1)] + [n(n+2)+2(n+2)] = 116
n² + n² + n + n + 1 + n² + 2n + 2n + 4 = 116
n² + n² + n² + n + n + 2n + 2n + 1 + 4 = 116
3n² + 6n + 5 = 116 Last option.

What is the length of RS.

Natali [406]

Consider, in ΔRPQ,

RP = R (Radius of larger circle)

PQ = r (radius of smaller circle)

We have to find, RQ, by Pythagoras theorem,

RP² = PQ²+RQ²

R² = r²+RQ²

RQ² = R²-r²

RQ = √(R²-r²

Now, as RQ & QS both are tangents of the smaller circle, their lengths must be equal. so, RS = 2 × RQ

RS = 2√(R²-r²)
