Step-by-step explanation:

let the numbers be x and y and x>y

x+y=179

x-y=133

add

2x=312

x=156

156+y=179

y=179-156=23

Answer:

156 and 23

Step-by-step explanation:

  • We can use system of equations to solve this problem.

Step 1: Set up the system of equations.

  • \left \{ {{x+y=179} \atop {x-y=133}} \right.

Step 2: Solve x + y = 179 for x.

  • x + y = 179
  • x + y - y = 179 - y (Subtract y from both sides)
  • x = -y + 179

Step 3: Substitute -y + 179 for x in x - y = 133.

  • x-y=133
  • -y+179-y=133
  • (-y-y)+(179)=133 (Combine like terms)
  • -2y + 179 = 133
  • -2y + 179 - 179 = 133 - 179 (Subtract 179 from both sides)
  • -2y = -46
  • \frac{-2y}{-2} = \frac{-46}{-2} (Divide both sides by -2)
  • y = 23

Step 4: Substitute 23 for y in x = -y + 179

  • x = -23 + 179
  • x = 156

Therefore, the numbers are 156 and 23.

Answer:

13/7

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we have

3/7 of cherry pie

2/7 of apple pie

3/7 of peach pie

5/7 of blueberry pie

Now we have to add up all of these in order to get the total amount of pie

3/7 + 2/7 +3/7 +5/7

= (3+2+3+5)/7

=13/7

If expressed as a mixed fraction

= 1 6/7

In conclusion, 13/7 pie remains as a fraction of a whole.

Aleonysh [2.5K]

Answer:

0.0025551

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Mean (m) = 40000

Standard deviation (s) = 2500

P(x < 33,000) :

USing the relation to obtain the standardized score (Z) :

Z = (x - m) / s

Z = (33000 - 40000) / 2500 = - 2.8

p(Z < -2.8) = 0.0025551 ( Z probability calculator)
