Answer:

  • 5 and 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the numbers be x and y.

<u>The equations are:</u>

  • x - y = 2
  • 2x + y = 13

<u>Add up the equations to eliminate y and solve for x:</u>

  • x - y + 2x + y = 2 + 13
  • 3x = 15
  • x = 15/3
  • x = 5

<u>Now find the value of y:</u>

  • y = x - 2
  • y = 5 - 2
  • y = 3

Let the numbers be a and b

  • a-b=2--(1)
  • 2a+b=13---(2)

Adding both

\\ \sf\longmapsto 3a=15

\\ \sf\longmapsto a=5

Putting in eq(1)

\\ \sf\longmapsto 5-b=2

\\ \sf\longmapsto b=5-2

\\ \sf\longmapsto b=3

If we take 1200 as the 100%, how much percentage is 700 of it?

well \bf \begin{array}{ccllll}&#10;amount&\%\\&#10;\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash&\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash\\&#10;1200&100\\&#10;700&x&#10;\end{array}\implies \cfrac{1200}{700}=\cfrac{100}{x}\implies x=\cfrac{700\cdot 100}{1200}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;x=\cfrac{175}{3}

so, (175/3)% or roughly 58.3%

now, how much is (175/3)% of 15000 ?
well, if we take 15000 as the 100%
then   \bf \begin{array}{ccllll}&#10;amount&\%\\&#10;\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash&\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash\\&#10;15000&100\\&#10;x&\frac{175}{3}&#10;\end{array}\implies \cfrac{15000}{x}=\cfrac{100}{\frac{175}{3}}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;\cfrac{15000\cdot \frac{175}{3}}{100}=x\implies \cfrac{5000\cdot 175}{100}=x

Y=6x+5 is the equation. what is its gradient
Irina18 [472]
Gradient is synonymous to slope.

y = 6x + 5 is an example of a slope-intercept form of a straight-line equationl.

The slope-intercept equation is like this:

y = mx + b

where : m = slope ; b = "y-intercept"

y = 6x + 5

6 is the slope
5 is the y-intercept.

Since slope and gradient are synonymous, 6 is the gradient of the above equation.

A square based prism and a cylinder both have
Anna11 [10]

Answer:

Parameter of base = 70.88 inch (Approx.)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Volume of cylinder = 3768 cubic inch

Height of Prism = 12 inch

Find;

Parameter of base

Computation:

Volume of cylinder = Volume of Prism

3768 = (L)(B)(H)

3768 = (L)(B)(12)

(L)(B) = 314

L = B

So.

L = 17.72 inch

B = 17.72 inch

Parameter of base = 2[l+b]

Parameter of base = 2[17.72 + 17.72]

Parameter of base = 70.88 inch (Approx.)

If f(x) is the total cost, in dollars, of x cupcakes, which of the following statements best describes the meaning of f(5) = 12?
dezoksy [38]

Answer:

  • See below

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>This a form of the proportional relationship:</u>

  • f(x) = kx, where f(x) - total cost, k- cost of each item, x - number of items

<u>We have:</u>

  • f(5) = 12

<u>It means:</u>

  • Total cost of 5 cupcakes is $12
