Answer:

A two-digit number can be written as:

a*10 + b*1

Where a and b are single-digit numbers, and a ≠ 0.

We know that:

"The sum of a two-digit number and the number obtained by interchanging the digits is 132."

then:

a*10 + b*1 + (b*10 + a*1) = 132

And we also know that the digits differ by 2.

then:

a = b + 2

or

a =  b - 2

So let's solve this:

We start with the equation:

a*10 + b*1 + (b*10 + a*1) = 132

(a*10 + a) + (b*10 + b) = 132

a*11 + b*11 = 132

(a + b)*11 = 132

(a + b) = 132/11 = 12

Then:

a + b = 12

And remember that:

a = b + 2

or

a = b - 2

Then if we select the first one, we get:

a + b = 12

(b + 2) + b = 12

2*b + 2 = 12

2*b = 12 -2 = 10

b = 10/2 = 5

b = 5

then a = b + 2= 5 + 2 = 7

The number is 75.

And if we selected:

a = b - 2, we would get the number 57.

Both are valid solutions because we are changing the order of the digits, so is the same:

75 + 57

than

57 + 75.

The ratio of boys to girls at King Middle school is 3:2. What is the ratio of girls to all students?
Dominik [7]
The answer is:  " 2 :5 " ;  or, write as:  " 2/5 " . 
________________________________________________________
The ratio of 'girls' to 'all students' is:  "2: 5 " ;  or, write as:  " 2/5 ".

Explanation:
________________________________________________________
Given:  The ratio of boys to girls is:  " 3:2 " .  

Problem:  Find the ratio of "girls" to "all students:
________________________________________________________
Note:    This ratio of "boys to girls", which is " 3 : 2 " ; 
________________________________________________________
    →  can be expressed as " 3x: 2x"  ;  

in which the total number of students is:  " 3x + 2x " = 5x " .

   → The total number of students is represented as:  " 5x " .  
________________________________________________________
→  The ratio of "girls to boys" is:  "2x : 3x" .

→  {that is;  the "inverse" of the ratio of "boys to girls"} ;  
→  {that is;  the "inverse" of  " 3x: 2x" } ;  →  which is:  " 2x : 3x " .
________________________________________________________ 

The ratio of "girls" to "all students" is:  "2x : 5x "  ;  or " 2x/5x " ; 
                                             → Both "x" values cancel ;  {since: " x/x = 1 "} ; 
_________________________________________________________
       →  and we have the answer:  " 2 :5 " ;  or, write as:  " 2/5 " .

What is the answer for -7 +4
lianna [129]

Answer:

answer is -3

Step-by-step explanation:

we know -,+ is -. so minus, plus is minus(here minus and plus are the signs given. opposite signs give minus wheras same signs give plus)

so, first we should subtract 7 minus 4 is 3,.

then we should insert the minus because the greater number has the minus sign. ( you should always insert a sign of a greater number after substituting)

The diagonals of quadrilateral EFGH intersect at D(?3,4). EFGH has vertices at E(3,7) and F(?4,5). What must be the coordinates
Katen [24]

Answer:

  G(3, 1), H(2, 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

When D is the midpoint of EG, it means ...

  D = (E + G)/2

or

  G = 2D -E = 2(3,4) -(3,7) = (2·3-3, 2·4-7) = (3, 1)

Likewise, H is ...

  H = 2D -F = 2(3,4) -(4,5) = (2·3-4, 2·4-5) = (2, 3)

The depth of snow after n hours of a snowstorm is represented by the function f(n + 1) = f(n) + 0.8 where f(0) = 2.5. Which stat
Alja [10]
C

"When the storm began", it means it has been snowed for 0 hours, so n=0.
f(0)=2.5, thus the <span>depth of snow was 2.5 inches when the storm began.

f(n+1)=f(n)+0.8, so f(n+1)-f(n)=0.8
it means when the time increases by one hour, the depth of snow increases by 0.8 inches.</span>
