Answer:

12 and 4

Step-by-step explanation:

we can solve this through a system of equations.

one number is a third of the other

1/3x = y

added together they equal sixteen

x + y = 16

substitute in for y

1/3x + x = 16

x = 12

put this in the original equation and

y = 4

Answer: 4 and 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the "another number"

Therefore, "one number" is 1/3x

1/3 x + x = 4/3 x

4/3 x = 16

1/3 x = 4

x = 12

Therefore, the numbers are 4 and 12.

An airline weighed the carry-on luggage of all its
nikklg [1K]

Using the graph, it is found that 976 passengers had carry-on luggage that weighed less than 20 lb.

<h3>Graph:</h3>

The graph is not given in this problem, but an internet search indicates that the information it contains is as follows:

  • 120 passengers carry luggage of 4 lb or less.
  • 222 passengers carry luggage between 5 lb and 9 lb.
  • 378 passengers carry luggage between 10 lb and 14 lb.
  • 256 passengers carry luggage between 15 lb and 19 lb.
  • 90 passengers carry luggage between 20 lb and 24 lb.
  • 40 passengers carry luggage between 25 lb or more.

Hence, the number of passengers with luggage below 20 lb is:

120 + 222 + 378 + 256 = 976

976 passengers had carry-on luggage that weighed less than 20 lb.

Simplify the polynomial expressions by combining like terms, and then multiply the resulting
dimaraw [331]

Answer:

The simplified expression is

20x^2 - 33x - 27

Step-by-step explanation:

(6x - 9 - 2x)(8 + 5x - 5)​

We must first rewrite the expression as a product of two binomials.

This can be done by adding like terms

(6x - 9 - 2x)(8 + 5x - 5)​

We have,

(4x-9)(5x+3)

Multiplying the resulting binomial expression

(4x-9)(5x+3)

(20x^2+12x-45x-27)

Add the like terms

20x^2-33x-27

The simplified expression is

20x^2 - 33x - 27

Twenty x squared minus thirty-three x minus twenty-seven
