please mark brainliest


Answer 2

Final answer:

The two numbers are 35 and 18. We found these by solving the simultaneous equations x + y = 53 and x - y = 17, representing their sum and difference.

Explanation:

Finding Two Numbers Given Their Sum and Difference

Let's denote the two unknown numbers as x and y. According to the conditions given:

x + y = 53 (Equation 1: The sum of the two numbers)

x - y = 17 (Equation 2: The difference of the two numbers)

We can solve these two simultaneous equations to find the values of x and y.

Add the two equations:

(x + y) + (x - y) = 53 + 17

2x = 70

x = 35

Substitute x in Equation 1:

35 + y = 53

y = 53 - 35

y = 18

Therefore, the two numbers are 35 and 18.

find the value of x and show your work

Answers

Answer:

x = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

2.1   Adding a fraction to a whole  

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using  10  as the denominator :

          7x     7x • 10

    7x =  ——  =  ———————

          1        10    

Equivalent fraction : The fraction thus generated looks different but has the same value as the whole  

Common denominator : The equivalent fraction and the other fraction involved in the calculation share the same denominator

Adding fractions that have a common denominator :

2.2       Adding up the two equivalent fractions  

Add the two equivalent fractions which now have a common denominator

Combine the numerators together, put the sum or difference over the common denominator then reduce to lowest terms if possible:

7x • 10 + 1     70x + 1

Determine whether the lines are parallel. Use slope to explain your answer. Use the graph shown below.

The slope is of the red line is ___

The slope is of the blue line is ___

The lines do/do not have the same slope so they are/are not parallel.

Please it's my third time trying to figure it out!

Answers

Answer:

red  1/2,

blue  2/5  

The lines do not have the same slope so they are  not parallel

Step-by-step explanation:

We can find the slope of the red line by using the formula

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

  We have the points (0,1) and (2,2)

m= (2-1)/ (2-0)

  = 1/2


We can find the slope of the blue line by using the formula

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

  We have the points (0,-5) and (5,-3)

m= (-3--5)/ (5-0)

  = (-3+5)/(5-0)

  = 2/5


The lines  do not have the same slope so they are  not parallel


find the nonpermissible for a in this expression a^2/2a+6

Answers

Answer:

The value not permissible for a is -3.

Step-by-step explanation:

Considering real numbers, the expression is undefined for any value a for which the denominator expression is zero.

[tex]\frac{a^2}{2a+6}, \,\,\,2a+6\neq 0\implies a\neq -3[/tex]

The expression is valid for all real numbers, except -3.

Answer:

a≠-3

Step-by-step explanation:

We cannot divide by zero, so the denominator cannot be zero

2a+6≠ 0

Subtract 6 from each side

2a+6-6≠ 0-6

2a ≠-6

Divide each side by 2

2a/2 ≠-6/2

Given: m∠1 = 140°, find m∠6.
A) 40°
B) 50°
C) 90°
D) 140°

Answers

Answer:

The answer is A

Step-by-step explanation:

When two parallel lines are crossed by another line the angle of 1 will be equal to 4, 5, and 8. The angle 2 will be equal to 3, 6, and 7. Since a straight line has a degree of 180, the subtracted degree of 180-140=40 which would mean 2=40 which 2=6 so 6=40.

Answer:

40°, A

Step-by-step explanation:

What are we going to do to figure out measure 6?

First of all, we know that measure 5 and measure 6 are equal to 180 degrees.

Second of all, we know that measure 1 and measure five are corresponding angles, which means they are congruent. If measure one is 140 degrees, measure 5 would also be 140 degrees.

So we know that measure 5 and measure 6 are equal to 180 degrees. We can now make an equation...

Let x = measure 6

140° + x = 180°           x = 40°

How many times can 25 go into 212

Answers

This is pretty simple so what you have to do is basically just divide 212 by 25 and you should get 8.48

25 can go into 212 a total of 8 times with a remainder.

 To determine how many times 25 can go into 212, we perform the division of 212 by 25.

This is a simple division problem where we are looking for the quotient, which represents the number of times 25 can be subtracted from 212 before the remainder is less than 25.

  Let's perform the division:

 [tex]\( \frac{212}{25} = 8 \)[/tex] with a remainder of 12.

This means that 25 can be multiplied by 8 to get as close as possible to 212 without exceeding it.

The difference between 212 and 200 is 12, which is the remainder.

  Therefore, 25 can go into 212 a total of 8 times with a remainder of 12."

The exact answer is 27 * pi

or the approximate answer is 27 * 3.14 = 84.78

Step-by-step explanation:

First step is to find the area of the circle

A = pi * r^2

A = pi * 6^2

A = 36* pi

We are missing 90  degrees of the circle  or 90 out of 360.

That means we keep 360 - 90 = 270  or 270/360

The fraction we are keeping simplifies to 3/4  (divide top and bottom by 90)

Multiply the area by the fraction that we kept.

36 pi * 3/4 = 27 * pi


The exact answer is 27 * pi

or the approximate answer is 27 * 3.14 = 84.78

Answers

Answer: A

Step-by-step explanation:

m(x) = x² + 2  

n(x) = 5x + 9

(m*n)(x) = (x² + 3)(5x + 9)

            = x²(5x + 9) + 3(5x + 9)

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If m(x) = x2 + 3 and n(x) = 5x + 9,

(mn)(x) is (m times n)(x)= m(x) times n(x)

m(x)  * n(x)

Plug in m(x) and n(x). then multiply it

m(x)  * n(x)

(x^2 + 3)(5x+9)

Apply FOIL method to multiply it

x^2 * 5x = 5x^3

x^2 * 9 = 9x^2

Which fraction is bigger 7/8 or 13/15

Answers

Answer:

7/8

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Change the denominators so that they are the same for both fractions

7/8 x 15 = 105/120

13/15 x 8 = 104/120

Step 2: Compare

104/120 < 105/120 = 13/15 < 7/8

Final answer:

The fraction 7/8 is bigger than 13/15.

Explanation:

To determine which fraction is bigger between 7/8 and 13/15, we need to find a common denominator. The least common multiple of 8 and 15 is 120. Now, we can convert both fractions to have the same denominator:

7/8 = 105/120

13/15 = 104/120

Since 105/120 is larger than 104/120, the fraction 7/8 is bigger than 13/15.

Five added to twice Jeff’s age is the same as 3 times his age minus 2. How old is Jeff

Answers

Answer:

21

Step-by-step explanation:


To find Jeff's age, we set up an algebraic equation based on the problem given. By isolating the variable and solving the equation, we determine that Jeff is 7 years old.

The problem presented is a basic algebraic equation that can be translated to: 5 + 2 * Jeff's age = 3 * Jeff's age - 2. To solve for Jeff's age, we follow these steps:

First, let's define Jeff's age as the variable x. So we can rewrite the equation as 5 + 2x = 3x - 2.Next, we want to get all the x terms on one side and the constant terms on the other to isolate x. We can do this by subtracting 2x from both sides of the equation, which gives us: 5 = x - 2.Finally, by adding 2 to both sides of the equation, we get Jeff's age, x = 7.

Jeff is 7 years old.

or

4.75 bags of apples

Step-by-step explanation:

First, take 38 divided by 8. You get 4.75. That means 4 bags have been filled up.

Next take 8 times 4. you get 32. then take 38-32 and you get 6.

That means there is 4 bags of apples and 6 left over. You could also say 4.75 bags are filled.

You can use the equation y=1/5x to help you figure it out where x is the days and y is the length. y=1/5(2). y=2/5 or 0.4 miles. Please vote my answer as brainliest

Final answer:

The road construction crew would pave 2/5 of a mile in 2 days, as they pave 1/5 mile every day.

Explanation:

The road construction crew paves 1/5 mile each day. If they were to work for 2 days, to find out how much they would pave, you would simply multiply the pace per day by the number of days. So, 1/5 mile * 2 days = 2/5 miles. Therefore, the crew would pave 2/5 of a mile in 2 days.

To find out how much the road construction crew would pave in 2 days, we need to multiply the amount they pave in 1 day by 2. So, if they pave 1/5 mile every day, they would pave 1/5 * 2 = 2/5 mile in 2 days.
