Answer:

The numbers are 11 and 49.

Step-by-step explanation:

x = 5y - 6 This is just the first sentence written as an equation.

x + y = 60 This is just the second sentence written as an equation.

5y - 6 + y = 60 Substitute x for what you know it is equal to

6y - 6 = 60 Collect like terms

6y = 66 Add 6 to each side

y = 11 Divide each side by 6

x = 5 × 11 - 6 Substitute y for what you know it is

x = 55 - 6 Simplify by working out 5 × 11 = 55

x = 49 Subtract 6 from 55 to get 49

A farmer needs to ship 71 pumpkins to a grocery store if each crates can hold 19 pumpkins how many crates Will the farmer need ?

Lesechka [4]

Answer:

The farmer will need 7 crates.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that there are 71 pumpkins in total.

And each crate holds 19 pumpkins.

Let the number of crates required be "n".

The total number of pumpkins can be calculated by multiplying number of pumpkins in each crate with total number of crates.

Thus, the equation is

$19(n) = 71$

$n = \frac{71}{19} = 7$

Thus, the farmer needs 7 crates to hold total of 71 pumpkins.

Information about five planets is shown in the table below.

Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Answer:

(a)Jupiter

(b)24.4 km

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A

The planet with the greatest ma.ss is Jupiter.

It has a ma.ss of $1.898 X 10^{27}$ kg$

Part B

The diameter of Mercury = 4.88 X 10

Radius = Diameter/2

Therefore:

Radius of Mercury

$=\dfrac{4.88 X 10}{2}\\ =2.44 X 10\\=24.4$ km$

Part C

$M$a.ss of Saturn = 5.68 X 10^{26}\\$Mass of Jupiter = 1.898 X 10^{27}\\$Difference in their ma.ss =(1.898 X 10^{27})-(5.68 X 10^{26})\\=1.33 \times 10^{27}$ kg$
