Answer:
Let's begin by writing the mathematical equations given by the sentences.
Let X = smaller number
Let Y = larger number
The first sentence tells us
X + Y = 38
The second sentence tells us
X = Y/3 + 6
Since you weren't given a specific method to use, you can use either the substitution method or the elimination(addition) method, whichever works best for you.
Since the 2nd equation has the X isolated, I'm going to isolate the X in the first equation,
X = 38 - Y
Since both equations are equal to X, I can set them equal to one another and solve for Y.
Y/3 + 6 = 38 - Y
Y + 18 = 114 - 3Y
4Y = 96
Y = 24
Then use either of the two original equations to solve for X
X + Y = 38
X + 24 = 38
X = 14
Step-by-step explanation:
PLS MAKE ME AS BRAINLIST
36-4.5x+36=102-7.5x-60
72-4.5x=42-7.5x
72+3.5x=42
3.5x=-30
x=8.57
Answer:
(p + q)² - ∛(h·3k) or (p + q)² - ∛(h·3k)
Step-by-step explanation:
Cube root of x: ∛x
Product of h and 3k: h·3k
Sum of p and q: p + q
*****************************
From (p + q)² subtract ∛(h·3k) This becomes, symbolically:
=> (p + q)² - ∛(h·3k)
2x - 3y = 6
-3y = 6 - 2x
y = -2 + 2/3x
Answer: There were 78 red apples at the party.
Step-by-step explanation:
This situation can be represented by the equation
x + 3x + 2(3x) = 130 where x is the number of green apples, 3x is the number of yellow apples and 2(3x) is the number of red apples.
Now solve for x
x +3x +2(3x) =130
4x + 6x = 130
10x = 130
x = 13
Now we know that x is 13 so put it into the expression for red apples and solve for the actual number of red apples.
2 * (3*13) = ?
2 * 39 = 78
