x = \frac{45}{13}

multiply all terms on both sides of the equation by the lowest common multiple of 3 and 8, that is 24

24 × \frac{2x}{3} = 24 × \frac{(x - 1)}{8} + 2 × 24

16x = 3(x - 1) + 48

16x = 3x - 3 + 48

16x = 3x + 45

subtract 3x from both sides

16x - 3x = 45

13x = 45

divide both sides by 13

x = \frac{45}{13}

The difference of two numbers is 16 and the sum of their squares is 130. What are the numbers.
Korvikt [17]
x - y = 16
x^2 + x^2 = 130

----------------
x^2 - y^2 = 256
+(x^2 + y^2 = 130)
2x^2 = 386
x^2 = 193
x = <span>13.892 (3DP)
----
</span>x - y = 16
13.892 - y = 16
-y = 2.108
y = -2.108
The numbers are: 13.892 and -2.108

Kwamee created a coffee blend for his cafe by mixing Kona beans and Fuji beans. Kona beans cost $11 per pound and Fuji beans cos
yKpoI14uk [10]
Let's use K for Kona and F for Fuji. The system of equations has to be a balanced system. For example, you can't mix the number of pounds of beans with the cost for each because pounds and dollars are different and you can only combine like terms...pounds with pounds and dollars with dollars. So let's start with the number of pounds. Since we don't know how much of each he bought we have the 2 unknowns, F and K, but we DO know that he bought 23 pounds total. So the first equation is
K + F = 23
Now let's see what we can do with the dollars. Again, we don't know how much he bought of each kind of coffee, but we do know that Kona beans cost $11 per pound and that Fuji beans cost $7.50 per pound, and we know that he spent a total of $197. So let's set that up:
11K + 7.50F = 197
Those are your 2 equations. It doesn't say you need to solve them, so you're done.

Find the lateral area of the square pyramid.<br> please help ill mark as brainlest!
kozerog [31]
You have a base that is 8x8 and the slant height of the triangle is 22.

This is the formula, L=1/2Ph

H = 22 Meters

1. P=2L+2W -> 2(8)+2(8) = 32 meters

2. L= 1/2(32)(22) = 352 meters squared :)
