We can solve this using substitution.

because x-y=2.5

x=y+2.5

Now substitute x into other equation.

2(y+2.5)^2-2y=125

2y^2+10y+12.5-2y=125

2y^2+8y-112.5=0

Now comes the ugly part

y=-4+-sqrt(16+900)

y=-4+-sqrt916

y=-4+-2sqrt229

x=-1.5+-2sqrt229

52,908 round to the nearest hundred.

IrinaVladis [17]

The hundredth is the 3rd number after the decimal place (so the 9). Look at the number before it and if it is 5 or above then round it to the next hundredth. In this case it is only a zero so we don't change the 9 just substitute it 0's. Therefore the answer is 52,900.

If you need further help let me know, hope this helped you.

-13 times the difference between a number and 60 is equal to the number plus -59

kipiarov [429]

Let n represent the number.
-13×(n -60) = n +(-59)
-13n +780 = n -59
839 = 14n
839/14 = n = 59 13/14

The number is 59 13/14.

_____
Check
The difference between the number and 60 is
59 13/14 -60 = -1/14
-13 times that value is
-13*(-1/14) = 13/14
Compare that to the number plus -59
59 13/14 -59 = 13/14 . . . . . the same value, as required.

How many 3/4 cup servings are in 12 cups of cherries?

AveGali [126]

Answer:

16 serving.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: 3/4 cup servings.

Now, computing the number of serving in 12 cups of cherries.

Using unitary method to solve.

∴ Number of serving= $total\ cups \times number\ of\ serving\ per\ cup$

Number of serving in one cup is $\frac{4}{3}$

Number of serving in 12 cups = $12\times \frac{4}{3} = 16 \ serving$

Number of serving in 12 cups= $16\ serving$

∴ There are 16 serving is possible in 12 cups of cherries.

A sphere and a cylinder have the same radius and height. The volume of the cylinder is 50 feet cubed. A cylinder with height h a

Arada [10]

Answer:

Volume of the sphere is 66.67r/h

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello,

Volume of a sphere = ⁴/₃πr³

Volume of a cylinder = πr²h

The volume of the cylinder = 50ft³

But the cylinder and sphere both have the same radius and height

Volume of a cylinder = πr²h

50 = πr²h

Make r² the subject of formula

r² = 50/πh

Volume of a sphere = ⁴/₃πr³

Put r² into the volume of a sphere

Volume of a sphere = ⁴/₃π(50/πh)r

Volume of a sphere = ⁴/₃ × 50r/h

Volume of a sphere = ²⁰⁰/₃ r/h

Volume of a sphere = 66.67r/h

The volume of the sphere is 66.67r/h
