Answer: 2 numbers are 19 and 39

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation: x + y + 20 = 78

⇔ x + y = 78 - 20

⇔ x + y = 58

⇔ y = 58 - x

So, we have:

x + 20 = 58 - x ( = y)

⇔ x + x = 58 - 20

⇔ 2x = 38

⇔ x = 19

⇒ y = x + 20 = 19 + 20 = 39

Maru [420]

Answer:

a=2, b=5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

n -----> the denominator

we have

$3.5*10^4=\frac{7*10^9}{n}$

Solve for n

That means -----> isolate the variable n

Multiply by n both sides

$3.5*10^4(n)=7*10^9$

Divide by 3.5*10^4 both sides

$n=\frac{7*10^9}{3.5*10^4}=(\frac{7}{3.5})(\frac{10^9}{10^4})=2*10^5$

therefore

a=2, b=5

An integer is chosen between 0 and 100. What is the probability that it is divisible by 7?

IgorC [24]

Assuming 0 and 100 are included in the possible choices:

There are $\left\lfloor\dfrac{101}7\right\rfloor=14$ multiples of 7 between 0 and 100, so there is a $\dfrac{14}{101}\approx0.1386$ probability of choosing a multiple of 7.
