Answer:

First number: 20

Second number: 30

Step-by-step explanation:

First#:   x

Second#:   y

Constraints:

   x + y = 50      

   1/4x + 2/3y = 25

Isolate variable y:

   x + y = 50    

  -1/4 (x + y = 50 )

 -1/4x - 1/4y = -12.5

  Add equations the two equations to eliminate x:

    -1/4x - 1/4y = -12.5

     1/4x + 2/3y = 25

  _________________

       5/12y = 12.5

           5y = 150

              y = 30

Substitution to find x:

       x + y = 50  

       x + 30 = 50

              x = 20

Which property is used in the first step to solve this equation?
melomori [17]

Answer:

distributive property

Step-by-step explanation:

we know the distributive property states that the multiplication of a number (in this case, the number 4) by a sum (in this case is a subtraction:  x-6) is equal to the sum of the multiplications of that number for each of the terms that belong to the sum:

we have: 4(x-6)

we apply the distributive property, so we have

4(x-6)=4*x-4*6

4(x-6)=4x-24

Plz help with 9 and 10
GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

Tony can buy three games with his savings over two months and Alice can buy six concert tickets.  

Step-by-step explanation:

Over two months, Tony has watched a total of 53.6 hours of television (35.4 + 18.2).  If he save $2.50 for each hour, we can multiply his total hours by the amount per hour, or 53.6 x 2.50 = $134.00.  Since each game that Tony wants to buy costs $35.75, we need to divide his total savings by the cost of each game, or 134/35.75 = 3.75.  Since Tony can't buy a portion of the game, the most amount of games he can buy is 3.  Alice watched a total of 48.4 hours of television (21.8 + 26.6).  If she also saves $2.50 per hour, then her total savings is 2.50 x 48.4 = $121.00.  Since her concert tickets are $17.50 a piece, we divide her total savings: 121/17.50 = 6.9.  Alice can also not buy a partial ticket, so the total amount she can buy is 6.

Gunnar’s car gets 22.4 miles per gallon, and his gas tank can hold 17.82 gallons of gas. PART B: Gunnar’s car is close to empty
dedylja [7]

Answer:

399.17 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Gunnar's car gets 22.4 miles per gallon. His gas tank can hold 17.82 gallons of gas.

Gunnar's car travels with one gallon of gas = 22.4 miles

He can travel with 17.82 gallon of gas = 17.82 × 22.4

                                                             = 399.168 ≈ 399.17 miles

Gunnar can travel 399.17 miles if he uses all of the gas in the gas tank.
