Answer:
35.34 and 16.66
Step-by-step explanation:
Given data
let the numbers be x and y
the smaller number = x
the larger number = y
x+y=52--------1
<em>The larger number is 2 less than twice the smaller number</em>
y=2x-2-------2
put y= 2x-2 in eqn 1
x+2x-2=52
3x-2=52
3x=52-2
3x=50
x= 50/3
x= 16.66
put x=16.66 in eqn 1 to find y
x+y=52
16.66+y= 52
y=52-16.66
y= 35.34
Hence the numbers are
35.34 and 16.66
Check
35.34+16.66= 52
Answer:
Blue Ballon = 16
Yellow Ballon = 23
Green Ballon = 26
Red Ballon = 32
Total puffs = 1000
23y + 16(2y) + 32y + 26(y/2) = 1000
23y + 32y + 32y + 13y = 1000
100y = 1000
y = 1000/10
y = 10
Therefore, russell
filled 10 yellow balloons.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the value of x, Cramer's rule says you replace the x-coefficients with the equation constants to form the matrix whose determinant is the numerator of the fraction. The denominator is the determinant of the matrix of coefficients. The equation constants are 148 and 246, so you expect to find those in the first column of the numerator (answer choices A and C).
The calculation is carried out correctly only in answer choice A.
