The difference of two numbers is 4. Their sum is 24.what are the numbers?

Write equation

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 14 and y = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

TRANSLATING WORDS INTO EQUATIONS:

Let the two numbers be x and y  

"The sum of two numbers is 24" translate as x + y = 24  

"Their difference is 4" translates as x-y=4

Those two equations make up the system of linear equations

SOLVING BY ELIMINATION:

Adding the two equations, we get

x + y + x - y = 24 + 4

2x = 28

x = 28 / 2

x = 14

substituting that into x + y = 24 we get

14 + y = 24

y = 24 - 14

y = 10

hope it helps :)

Lisa rolls a number cube that has sides labeled 1 to 6 and then flips a coin. What is the probability that she rolls an odd number and flips tails?

A.1/8

B.1/4

C.1/2

D.3/4

Answers

Answer: B. 1/4

Step-by-step explanation: The probability of rolling an odd number is 3/6 since there are 3 odd numbers between 1 and 6 (1, 3, 5). The probability of flipping a coin and getting tails is 1/2 since you can either get heads or tails. With this knowledge, you must multiply these two probabilities to get the probability of getting an odd number AND tails; so, 3/6 x 1/2 = 3/12 = 1/4.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Set 1

first of all we have to look at the negative numbers:

-99% = -0,99

-√80 = is almost 9

so :

-9,(9) ; -√80 ; -99%

then the positive numbers:

19% = 0,19

√9 = 3

1/9 = 0,11...

so

1/9 ; 19% ; √9

final answer:

-9,(9) ; -√80 ; -99% ; 1/9 ; 19%, √9

Set 2

descending order = from greatest to least

In this case we have to look at first at positive numbers

2/3 = 0,6

√23 = 4,...

20/3 = 6,...

23% = 0,23

so

20/3 ; √23 ; 2/3 ; 23%

negative numbers

-√34 = -5,...

so :

-4,(3) ; -√34

final answer:

20/3 ; √23 ; 2/3 ; 23% ; -4,(3) ; -√34

Jennifer's grandma bought her a $50 savings bond when she was born. When Jennifer is 30 years old, the bond will have earned 110% in interest. How much will the bond be worth when Jennifer is 30 years old?​

Answers

Answer:

105$

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told that she starts with 50$

We are also that after 30 years she earns 110% on interest

Given this information we need to find the value of the bond after the 30 years

To do so we take 110% of the initial value (50$) and add that to the initial value

So the answer = 110%(50) + 50

110%*50=55

55+50=105

So in 30 years the bond will be worth 105$

The solids are similar. Find the volume V of the red solid.

Answers

Your welcome that's from my computer and got it correct

Answer:

13,564.8

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of the volumes of similar solids is the cube of the scale factor.

Scale factor:

red solid : blue solid = 12/10 = 6/5

Ratio of volumes:

volume red solid : volume blue solid = (6/5)^3

volume of red solid = 7850 ft^3 * (6/5)^3 = 13,564.8 ft^3

Answer: V = 13,564.8 ft^3

Given the sequence 9,6,3,0,..., at what nth term will the number become -24?

Answers

Answer:

12

Step-by-step explanation:

A sequence is given and we need to find the term when it will become -24 . The given sequence is,

9 , 6 , 3 ,0 , . . . . .

Here Common Difference can be calculated by subtracting consecutive terms . So the Common Difference is 6-9 = -3 . Here the nth term is (-24) .Now using the formula to find nth term .

⇒ T_n = a + (n-1)d

⇒ (-24) = 9 + (n-1)(-3)

⇒ -24-9 = (n-1)(-3)

⇒ (n-1) = -33/-3

⇒ n-1 = 11

⇒ n = 11 + 1

⇒ n = 12

Hence the required number of term is 12.

Trent attaches his A+ test to the refrigerator with a circular magnet. Out of curiosity, he measures the magnet and calculates that it has a diameter of 4 centimeters. What is the magnet's area?

Answers

Answer:

12.6 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

From the above question, the magnet is circular in shape

The area of a circle is given as:

= πr²

The area of the magnet = π × r²

Diameter = 4cm

r = Diameter/2 = 4cm/2 = 2cm

= π × (2cm)²

= 12.566370614cm²

Approximately = 12.6 cm²

The area of the magnet = 12.6cm²

44 is r% of 16 what is r

Answers

Answer:

r= 275

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's write an equation with the given information.

44= r% ×16

Rewrite the percentage as a fraction:

[tex]44 = \frac{r}{100} \times 16[/tex]

Divide both sides by 16:

[tex] \frac{r}{100} = 44 \div 16[/tex]

[tex] \frac{r}{100} = 2.75[/tex]

Multiply both sides by 100:

r= 2.75(100)

r= 275

Answers

Answer:

2,000 m (2 Liters) = 100 plants

Step-by-step explanation:

2,000 milliliters make up 2 liters.

200 liters are being poured.

2,000/200 = 10

10 plants are being watered each time.

200 m = 10 plants

400 m = 20 plants

600 m = 30 plants

800 m = 40 plants

1,000 m = 50 plants

1,200 m = 60 plants

1,400 m = 70 plants

1,600 m = 80 plants

1,800 m = 90 plants

2,000 m = 100 plants

Answer:x=2

Step-by-step explanation:

Kurt and Maria's high school is having a newspaper drive.The goal is to collect 3,585 pounds of newspapers. So far, 21% of the goal has been reached. Kurt estimated the number of pounds of newspapers collected by finding 10% of 3,600 and then multiplying the result by 2. Maria estimated the number of pounds of newspapers collected by finding One-fifth of 3,600.

Answers

Options:

Who is right, and why?

a. Neither Kurt nor Maria is right, because 3,500 should be used instead of 3,600.

b. Kurt is right, because finding 1/5 of 3,600 is not a good way to approximate 21% of 3,585.

c. Maria is right, because finding 10% of 3,600 and multiplying the result by 2 is not a good way to approximate 21% of 3,585.

d. Both Kurt and Maria are right, because 3,585 should be rounded up to 3,600, and 21% of this amount can be approximated by either finding 10% of 3,600 and multiplying the result by 2 or by finding 1/5 of 3,600.

Answer:

d. Both Kurt and Maria are right, because 3,585 should be rounded up to 3,600, and 21% of this amount can be approximated by either finding 10% of 3,600 and multiplying the result by 2 or by finding 1/5 of 3,600.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]Goal = 3585[/tex]

[tex]Collected = 21\%[/tex]

[tex]Kurt= 10\% * 3600 * 2[/tex]

[tex]Maria = \frac{1}{5} * 3600[/tex]

Required [Missing from the question]

Who is correct and why?

First, we calculate the actual amount collected.

[tex]Actual = Collected * Goal[/tex]

[tex]Actual = 21\% * 3585[/tex]

[tex]Actual = 752.85[/tex]

[tex]Actual = 753[/tex] --- approximate

Next, determine the estimate (round 3585 to 3600 and 21% to 20%)

[tex]Estimate = 20\% * 3600[/tex]

[tex]Estimate = 720[/tex]

Next, calculate Kurt and Maria's estimates

[tex]Kurt= 10\% * 3600 * 2[/tex]

[tex]Kurt = 720[/tex]

[tex]Maria = \frac{1}{5} * 3600[/tex]

[tex]Maria = 720[/tex]

Hence, Kurt and Maria are correct because of option (d)
