Answer:

1) The  series of equations that can be used to find the numbers are

7·x + 3·y = 54...(1)

x = y + 2...(2)

2) The first number is 6

The second number is 4

Step-by-step explanation:

1) The given parameters for the numbers are;

7 times the first number + 3 times the 2nd number = 54

The first number = The 2nd number + 2

Let 'x' represent the first number and let 'y' represent the second number

The following series of equations can therefore be used in finding the numbers;

7·x + 3·y = 54...(1)

x = y + 2...(2)

2) By substituting the value of x = y + 2 from equation (2) into equation (1) gives;

7·x + 3·y = 54

∴ 7×(y + 2) + 3·y = 54

7·y + 14 + 3·y = 54

10·y + 14 = 54

10·y = 54 - 14 = 40

y = 40/10 = 4

The second number = y = 4

The first number, x = y + 2 = 4 + 2 = 6

The first number, x = 6.

For a trapezoid, the following formula relates the area a, the two bases a and b, and the height h. a= g (a
Dovator [93]
A - area of a trapezoid;
a, b - two bases.
A = h * ( a + b ) / 2            / * 2  ( we have to multiply both sides by 2 )
2 A = h *( a + b )
2 A = h a + h b
h b = 2 A - h a
b = ( 2 A - h a ) / h
b = 2 A/h - a

If there are a total of 25 questions, and I scored 56% on my test, how many answers did I get right, and how many answers did I
Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

14 correct and 11 wrong

Step-by-step explanation:

If you got a 56% , we need to change this to decimal form 56% = .56

This is the percent you got right

.56* 25 = 14

You got 14 questions right

To determine the number of questions you got wrong, take the total number of questions minus the number you got right.

25-14 =11

You got 11 wrong
