42 and 14

explanation:

x+y = 56
x = 3y

Substitute for x in the first equation:
x + y = 56
x = 3y
3y + y = 56
Combine like terms:
4y = 56
Divide both sides by 4:
y = 14

So if y = 14, and x = 3y, then x = 42.

Now substitute for both x and y in both of the original equations to prove they are the correct values.

x + y = 56
x = 42
y = 4
42 + 14 = 56
56 = 56

x = 3y
x = 42
y = 14
42 = 3*14
42 = 42

So the two numbers, x and y, are 42 and 14.

42 and 14 because 14x3 is 42 and 14+42=56

An experimental population of fruit flies increases according to the law of exponential growth. There were 60 flies after the 2n
Mice21 [21]

Answer:

There were 10 flies originally

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have an exponential growth, we will be having a constant percentage of increase and we can set up the increase at any day using the following equation;

V = I(1+r)^d

where V is the number of flies on a particular day

I is the initial number of flies

r is the constant increase in percentage

and d is the number of days.

So we have for the second day;

60 = I(1+r)^2 ••••••(i)

For the fourth day, we have;

360 = I(1+r)^4 ••••••••(ii)

divide equation ii by i; we have;

360/60 = (1+r)^4/(1+r)^2

6 = (1+r)^2

(√6)^2 = (1+r)^2

1 + r = √6

r = √6 - 1

So we can substitute the value of r in any of the equations to get I which is the initial number of flies

Let’s use equation 1

60 = I(1 + r)^2

60 = I(1 + √6 -1)^2

60 = I(√6)^2

60 = 6I

I = 60/6

I = 10 flies

a scuba diver descended at a rate of 2 1/4 per second. If 0 represents the surface of the water and distances below the surface
Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

The location will be at - 28\frac{1}{8} units.

Step-by-step explanation:

A scuba diver descended at a rate of 2\frac{1}{4} units per second.

Now, if 0 represents the surface of the water and distances below the surface are negative, then after 12\frac{1}{2} seconds the location of the diver will be given by the followings :

In one second the diver descends by 2.25 units depth.

So, in 12.5 seconds the diver will descend by (2.25 \times 12.5) = 28.125 units i.e. 28\frac{1}{8} units depth.

Therefore, the location will be at - 28\frac{1}{8} units. (Answer)
