Answer:

  • a = 22
  • b = 17

Step-by-step explanation:

Givens

Let a = the first number

Let b = the second number

Equations

a + b = 39

b = 1/2 * a + 6

Put the second equation into the first one

a + 1/2 * a +   6 = 39                  Simplify the left.

(3/2)a + 6 = 39                           Subtract 6 from both sides

(3/2)a + 6 - 6 = 39 - 6                Combine

(3/2)a = 33                                  Multiply both sides by 2

3a = 33*2

3a = 66                                       Divide both sides by 3

3a/3 = 66/3

a = 22

b = 1/2 a + 6

a = 22

b = 1/2 * 22 + 6

b = 11 + 6

b = 17

Check

22 + 17 = 39

Question 19 Only, Please show your work.<br><br> Solve the problem.
ankoles [38]

Answer:

5\sqrt{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

Draw a diagonal (line segment from one corner to the opposite corner).  You'll form two right triangles with the diagonal being the hypotenuse of both triangles.

Use the Pythagorean Theorem:  (leg)^2 + (leg)^2 = (hypotenuse)^2.

Let  h  represent the length of the hypotenuse.

h^2 = 5^2+5^2\\h^2=25 + 25\\h^2 =50\\h=\sqrt{50}\\h=5\sqrt{2}

The question is just a bit vague. It should say opposite corners.  I'm assuming the question does not mean the length of one side!

kirill [66]

Answer: 4.25 pound of meat

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a addition questions, all you have to do is to add the numbers together. But you have to convert all the fractions and decimal to the same thing first. In this case, I'll convert all the fraction to decimal.

2.42 + 0.75 + 0.36  ✕ 3 = 4.25 pound
