Answer:

The two numbers are:

30 and 18

Step-by-step explanation:

a + b = 48

a - b = 12

From the first eq.

a = 48 - b

Replacing this last value in the second eq.

(48 - b) - b = 12

48 - 2b = 12

48 - 12 = 2b

36 = 2b

36/2 = b

18 = b

from the first eq.

a + 18 = 48

a = 48 - 18

a = 30

Check:

from the second eq.

a - b = 12

30 - 18 = 12

For the equations given below, which statement is true?
allochka39001 [22]

Answer: C. The equations have the same solution because the second equation can be obtained by adding 6 to both sides of the first equation.

Step-by-step explanation:

You know that the first equation is:

-3x-8=19

And the second equation is:

-3x-2=25

According to the Addition property of equality:

If a=b; then a+c=b+c

Then, you can add 6 to both sides of the first equation to keep it balanced. Then, you get:

-3x-8=19\\\\-3x-8+(6)=19+(6)

-3x-2=25

Therefore, you can observe that the second equation can be obtained by adding 6 to both sides of the first equation, therefore, the equations have the same solution.

If you want to verify this, you can solve for "x" from both equations:

- First equation:

-3x-8=19\\\\-3x=19+8\\\\x=\frac{27}{-3}\\\\x=-9

- Second equation:

-3x-2=25\\\\-3x=25+2\\\\x=\frac{27}{-3}\\\\x=-9

What do you think are some of the advantages and disadvantages of a capitalist economic system? Do you feel that the advantages
Tcecarenko [31]
Hello!

Advantages of a capitalist economic system:

• Economic growing and expansion.

• Consumer choice (The consumers get to choose what to consume, which leads to better products and services).

• Efficiency of economics (Goods and services based on demand)



Disadvantages of a capitalist economic system:

• Inequality (A small group of people hold most of the wealth)

• There can be a monopoly of power (a specific enterprise is the only supplier of particular commodity)

• Unemployment

• Social benefit ignored. A free market will ignore externalities.

No, I feel the disadvantages outweigh the advantages, because there are more of them.

The two-way table shows the number of books of each type in Eliza's home ​what is the probability that a randomly selected refer
Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer:

B. 0.4

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the definition of the probability

Pr=\dfrac{\text{Number of all favorable outcomes}}{\text{Number of all possible outcomes}}

You have to find the probability that a randomly selected reference book is hard cover. Hence, from the table

  • Number of all possible outcomes = Number of Reference books = 25
  • Number of all favorable outcomes = Number of Hardcover Reference books = 10

So, the probability is

Pr=\dfrac{10}{25}=\dfrac{40}{100}=0.4
