Finding two numbers

Mathematics
1 answer:
kramer3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

the larger number is 39 and the smaller is 35

Step-by-step explanation:

let the larger number be x and the smaller number be y

the larger number is 4 more than the smaller : x = y+ 4

the sum of the numbers is 74 : x+y = 74

knowing that x= y+4; (y+4)+y = 74

y+4+y=74

collect like terms : y+y=74-4

2y=70

y=70/2 ; y=35

substitute y=35 into (x=y+4)

X=35+4, x=39

2(3/5x+3). How would I get that answer
Airida [17]

Answer: \frac{6}{5}x + 6

Step-by-step explanation:

       We will use the order of operations, also known as PEMDAS. See attached. Please note that we cannot do what is in the parentheses first because we have a variable, so we will distribute the 2 into it. Since this is an expression, I do not believe we can fully solve for x, but can only simplify.

       Given:

2(3/5x+3)

       Distribute:

2 * (3/5x) + (2 * 3)

6/5x + 6

       Answer:

\frac{6}{5}x + 6

Which of the following is a solution of 4x2 = − 9x − 4?
nignag [31]
Get all on one side
add 9x+4 both sides
4x^2+9x+4=0
use quadratic formula
in form
ax^2+bx+c=0
x=\frac{-b+/- \sqrt{b^{2}-4ac} }{2a}

a=4
b=9
c=4

x=\frac{-9+/- \sqrt{9^{2}-4(4)(4)} }{2(4)}
x=\frac{-9+/- \sqrt{81-64} }{8}
x=\frac{-9+/- \sqrt{17} }{8}
x=\frac{-9+ \sqrt{17} }{8} or \frac{-9- \sqrt{17} }{8}

aprox
x=-1.64039 or -0.6096

Desmond ordered his favourite pizza with 1 2 12 slices. Sadly, he could finish only 7 5 % 75% of the whole pizza. How many pizza
Gala2k [10]

Answer:

3 pizza slices.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that Desmond ordered his favorite pizza with 12 slices. Sadly, he could finish only 75% of the whole pizza.

As Desmond ate 75% of 12 slices, so left number of slices will be equal to 25% of 12 slices.

\text{Number of pizza slices left}=\frac{25}{100}\times 12

\text{Number of pizza slices left}=\frac{1}{4}\times 12

\text{Number of pizza slices left}=3

Therefore, 3 pizza slices were left.
