Answer:

The numbers are 6 and 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the numbers be x and y

So their sum is x + y =9 (EQ. 1)

Their difference is x - y = -3 (EQ. 2)

Solve simultaneously using subtract method.

x-x=0, x is eliminated. y- -y = +2y since -x- is +.

so it is now 2y = 9- - 3:. 2y= 12; dividing both sides by 2. Y=6.

Substitute Y=6 in EQ 1 to find x.

So x + 6=9;. x=9-6 is achieved by collecting like terms. so x=3.

:. Y=6 and x=3. The numbers are 6 and 3

I think I was able to expantiate it well.

Question 1: find the volume of a cube whose total surface area is 486cm^2
lapo4ka [179]
<h3>The volume of cube is 729 cubic centimeter</h3>

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

<em><u>The surface area of cube is given as:</u></em>

Surface\ area = 6a^2

Where, "a" is the length of side of cube

Given that, surface area = 486 square centimeter

486 = 6a^2\\\\a^2 = \frac{486}{6}\\\\a^2 = 81\\\\a = 9

<u><em>Find the volume of cube:</em></u>

volume\ of\ cube = a^3\\\\volume\ of\ cube = 9^3\\\\volume\ of\ cube = 9 \times 9 \times 9\\\\volume\ of\ cube = 729

Thus volume of cube is 729 cubic centimeter

12 * 3 = 36, 1/2 * 3 = 1 1/2
36 + 1 1/2 = $37.50 for about 13 kilograms of sand.

Match the information on the left with the appropriate equation on the right.
zaharov [31]

Answer:

See attachment below

Step-by-step explanation:

For the first option, we are given m = - 2 / 3, b = 3. This is likely in the point - slope form y = mx + b, where m = slope and b = y - intercept. Thus, the equation of the line in point - slope form given this information, should be y = - 2 / 3x + 3. It seems as if none of the following equations match this form, so let us interchange the equation a bit,

y = - 2 / 3x + 3,

y + 2 / 3x = 3,

2x + 3y = 9 - Option C

_______________________________________________________

Next we are given m = - 3 / 2, and that this line passes through the point ( 4, - 1 ). Substitute m as - 3 / 2, x as 4, y as - 1, knowing point ( 4, - 1 ), into the form y = mx + b - solving for b.

- 1 = ( - 3 / 2 )( 4 ) + b,

b = 5,

Thus the equation in point - slope form should be y = - 3 / 2x + 5. None of the choices match this, so let us again alter the equation,

y = - 3 / 2x + 5,

2y = - 3x + 10,

- 2y = 3x - 10 - Option A

_______________________________________________________

( 6, 3 ) and ( 3, 1 ) is given to lie on this line. The slope of the line should be as follows,

Slope = 3 - 1 / 6 - 3 = 2 / 3

Now let us determine the y - intercept ( b ) by substitute one of the points, say ( 6, 3 ). In this case x = 6, and y = 3,

3 = ( 2 / 3 )( 6 ) + b,

b = - 1,

y = 2 / 3x - 1 = Option D
