Answer:

x = 18

y = 38

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the smaller number be = x

Let the larger number be = y

Sum of the number, x + y = 56 --------- ( 1 )

Seven  times smaller number = 7x

Three times larger number = 3y

Seven times smaller = 12 more than 3times larger , 7x = 12 + 3y ----- ( 2 )

Solve ( 1 ) and ( 2 )

x + y = 56  => x = 56 - y

Substitute x in ( 2 )

7x - 3y = 12

7(56 - y) - 3y = 12

392 - 7y - 3y = 12

-10y =  12 - 392

-10y = - 380

y = 38

Substitute y in ( 1 )

x + y = 56

x + 38 = 56

x = 56 - 38

x = 18

X+y=56
7x-12=3y
7x-3y=12

3x+3y=168
7x-3y=12

10x=180
X=18

56-18=y
Y=38

Write a division problem. Show two different ways that you can estimate the quotient using compatible numbers.
Levart [38]
98 divided by 7


1. 98-round to 100
    7-round to 10

100 divided by 10=10

So 98 divided by 7 is about 10

That is one way

Help!<br><br> If a sphere has a radius of 8mm, what is its volume? (Show work)
babymother [125]
The formula for the volume of a sphere is V = (4/3) * π * r³. Knowing this, we can plug in the radius:

V = \frac{4}{3} \pi *8^{3} \\ V = \frac{4}{3} \pi*512 \\ V = 2144.66

The sphere's volume is approximately 2144.66 mm^3.
