There are two mystery numbers. The sum of 10 times the first number and 5 times the second number is -15. The sum of 6 times the first number and 2 times the second number is -10. What are the two numbers? please explain

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

  -2 and 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The two "mystery numbers" are described by two relations. We can assign variables to those numbers, and write a system of equations that express the given relations.

__

Let x and y represent the first and second mystery numbers, respectively. The first relation tells us ...

  10x +5y = -15

The second relation tells us ...

  6x +2y = -10

We can reduce both of these equations to lowest terms by factoring out the common factor of 5 from the first one and 2 from the second one:

2x +y = -33x +y = -5

__

We are told to solve this using elimination. We can eliminate the y-variable by subtracting the first equation from the second:

  (3x +y) -(2x +y) = (-5) -(-3)

  x = -2 . . . . . . . . . . simplify

  2(-2) +y = -3 . . . . substitute for y

  y = 1 . . . . . . . . . . add 4

The two numbers are -2 and 1.

Answers

Answer:

  4.8 m

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a rectangle is the product of length and width. This relation can be used to find any of the dimensions when the other two are known.

__

Here, we know area and length, so we can find width.

  A = LW

  W = A/L = (29.76 m²)/(6.2 m) = 4.8 m

Mrs. Reyes had some apples. If she gave each student 3 apples, she would have 2 apples left have. If she gave each students 4 apples each she would be 2 short. How many apples did she have.

Answers

Answer:

14 apples

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

Number of apples = aNumber of students = s

According to question we have equations

a = 3s + 2a = 4s - 2

Find the number of students by substitution

3s + 2 = 4s - 24s - 3s = 2 + 2s = 4

Find the number of apples

a = 3*4 + 2 = 12 + 2 = 14

Answer:

14 apples

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = number of students

Let y = total number of apples

Create a system of equations with the given information.

Equation 1

If she gave each student 3 apples, she would have 2 apples left:

⇒ y - 3x = 2

Equation 2

If she gave each students 4 apples each she would be 2 short:

⇒ y - 4x = -2

Rewrite Equation 1 to make y the subject:

⇒ y = 2 + 3x

Substitute this into Equation 2 and solve for x:

⇒ (2 + 3x) - 4x = -2

⇒ 2 + 3x - 4x = -2

⇒ 2 - x = -2

⇒ -x = -4

⇒ x = 4

Substitute the found value of x into the rewritten Equation 1 and solve for y:

⇒ y = 2 + 3(4)

⇒ y = 2 + 12

⇒ y = 14

Therefore, Mrs Reyes had 14 apples.

Answers

There has to be a common denominator in order to add fraction.
1 / a + b and 5 / 2 ( a + b)

the common denominator would be 2(a+b) therefore multiple thé first fraction by 2, and the second by 1.

2 / 2(a + b) + 5 / 2(a + b)

2 + 5 = 7
the denominator stays the same
so 7 / 2(a + b)

A survey on healthy choices was given to gym members at Work It Out. The results showed that 90% of its members drank protein shakes. Of the members who drank protein shakes, 30% took weight-loss medication whereas only 10% of members who did not drink protein shakes took weight-loss medication. What is the probability that a gym member does not take weight-loss medication?

Answers

Answer:

63%

Step-by-step explanation:

First, create an easy number to start being able to grasp the concept.

Let us start with 100 members of "Work it Out"

90% drank protein shakes, which translates to 90 people.

30% of 90 people took weight loss medication, this is equal to 27 people. The 10% of the members that didn't take protein shakes (10) took weight loss medication. Add 10 to 27, then subtract from 100 to get the people that don't use weight loss medication. This gets us 63, then put over the total number of members to get 63%.

Tyler bought a wedge. He measured the arc length of the wedge to be 12 centimeters and the radius to be 8 centimeters. Priya bought a wedge that came from a circular cheese block with radius 9 centimeters. The block was cut into 6 congruent sectors. Whose wedge is larger? Explain or show your reasoning.

Answers

The wedge is an illustration of arc lengths, and Tyler's ledge is larger than Priya's wedge

How to determine the larger wedge?

From the question, the arc length of Tyler's wedge is:

L = 12 cm

For Priya's wedge, we have the following highlights:

Radius = 9 cm

Angle = 60 degrees i.e. the angle when a circle is divided into 6 sectors

Priya's arc length is then calculated as:

[tex]L = \frac{\theta}{360} * 2\pi r[/tex]

This gives

[tex]L = \frac{60}{360} * 2 * 3.14 * 9[/tex]

Evaluate

L = 9.42

By comparing the arc lengths 9.42 and 12 cm, we have 12 cm > 9.42 cm

Hence, Tyler's ledge is larger than Priya's wedge

The question is what is the range of the function shown on the graph above?

Answers

Answer:

0 ≤ y ≤ 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Hey there! :)

Please see an explanation for better understanding, and let me know if you have any questions!

What is Range?

Range in Function means set of all y-values. We know by the graph that y-value is a vertical value while x-value is horizontal value. From the graph, we have y-axis which is vertical line and x-axis which is horizontal line.

For this question, I would like you to focus on y-value instead, at best, only. That is because we are finding the range, as said above that range is the set of all y-values.

Steps

To find the range in graph, first, you must understand that range starts from minimum point/value to maximum point/value. Therefore, we will have to find y-values for both points and combine the interval.

From the graph, we see that there are two points given which are (-6,0) and (9,7). Since (-6,0) is the minimum point because below y = 0, there exists no values. On the other hand, (9,7) is our maximum point because above y = 7, there exists no values.

Focus only y-values, for both points, we have y = 0 and y = 7. Since range is minimum < y < maximum - for opened dots of both points or minimum ≤ y ≤ maximum - for closed dots for both points.

In case if you don’t know what opened dots and closed dots are. Opened dots are white dots while closed dots are colored dots, usually dark ones.

Thus, from the y-values of both point, our range is 0 ≤ y ≤ 7
