X + y = 10

Rewrite as y = 10-x

Y - x = 6

Replace y

10-x -x = 6

Simplify:

10-2x = 6

Subtract 10 from both sides:

-2x = -4

Divide both sides by -2:

X = 2

Now replace x in the first equation:

2 + y = 10

Subtract 2 from both sides:

Y = 8

The two numbers are 8 and 2

Lauren says that -3.5 is greater than -3 1/3. Do you agree? Explain.
kirza4 [7]

Answer:

-3\frac{1}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

-3.5 means -(3 + \frac{1}{2})

In other words, -3.5 = -3\frac{1}{2}

When we draw two numbers -3\frac{1}{3} and -3\frac{1}{2} on a number line, -3\frac{1}{2} comes first from left to right.

We know that all the numbers on a number line from left to right are in increasing order.

Therefore, -3\frac{1}{2} is smaller than -3\frac{1}{3}.

-3\frac{1}{2}

Lauren is not correct.

I need help please!!
Sergio039 [100]

Answer:

16 cm2

Step-by-step explanation:

By equa tion of area of triangle: S = 1/2 * height * base

Triangle B: 32  = 1/2 * 8 * x --> x = 8 (cm)

The base of triangle A is half of the base of triangle B so it is 4 cm.

The area of triangle A = 1/2 * 8 * 4 = 16 (cm2)

Write the fraction as a percent. Round to the nearest tenth of a percent of necessary. 1/7
balu736 [363]

It's 14.285714%

So, simplified it would be 14.3% because you round the 2 up since theres an 8 behind it.
