Let the numbers be x and y

x + y = 100
-
x - y = 26
________
0x + 2y = 74

2y = 74

y = 74/2 = 37

y is actually the less number = 37. The second equation tells y is lesser.

An angle measures 14.8° less than the measure of its complementary angle. What is the measure of each angle?

Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

The larger angle is 52. 4

The smaller angle is 37. 6

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation is:

(x-14. 8)+x=90

x+x-14. 8=90

2x=90+14. 8

2x=104. 8

x=52. 4

The value for the larger angle is x

and x =52. 4

The value for the smaller angle is x-14. 8

and x-14. 8=52.4-14.8

=37.6

Verification

(x-14.8)+ x=90

(52.4-14.8)+52.4=90

37.6+52.4=90

90=90

At a local preschool, there is a ratio of 3 boys to every 4 girls. If there are 245 total preschoolers enrolled, then how many a

Reika [66]

Set up the equation by writing the number of students in the ratio as a fraction:

3/4= (245-x)/x Cross multiply:

3x= 4(245-x) Multiply on right:

3x= 980-4x Add 4x on both sides:

7x= 980 Divide both sides by 7:

x= 140 this is how many girls there are. And:

245-140= 105= boys

Mr.Williams physical education class lasts 7/8 hour if instruciton is 1/5 how many minutes are not spent on instruction?

34kurt

= 7/8 − 1/5

= ((7 × 5) − (1 × 8)) / (8 × 5)

= (35 - 8) / 40

= 27/40

= 27/40

SO, 27/40 minutes are NOT spend on instructions.

Hope I helped:P

Monique is factoring the expression 4 x + 16 x y. Her work is shown below. Factors of 4x: 1, 2, 4, x Factors of 16xy: 1, 2, 4, 8

Anika [276]

Answer:

Monique made an error when writing the factored expression.

Correct factored

expression=4x(1+4y)

Step-by-step explanation:

factoring the expression 4 x + 16 x y.

Factors of 4x: 1, 2, 4, x

Factors of 16xy: 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, x, y

GCF: 4x

Factored expression: 4 x (0 + 4 y)

Monique made an error when writing the factored expression.

The correct factored expression should be:

4x+16xy

=4x(1+4y)

Contrary to 4x(0+4y)

Correct factored

expression=4x(1+4y)
