The sum of two numbers is 1130. Their difference is 470. Write a system of equations that
could be used to find the value of the two numbers then find the value of the smallest number
(1 Point)
300
330
180
500
17
Answer:
x = 800 and y = 330
Step-by-step explanation:
Let two numbers be x and y.
Sum of two numbers is 1130.
Their difference is 470.
So,
x+y=1130 ...(1)
x-y = 470 ...(2)
Add equation (1) and (2).
x+y+x-y = 1130+470
2x = 1600
x = 800
Put the value of x in equation (1)
800+y=1130
y = 1130-800
y = 330
So, the smallest number is 330 and the largest number is 800.
A farmer sells 8.8 kilograms of apples and pears at the farmer's market. 1 4 of this weight is apples, and the rest is pears. How many kilograms of pears did she sell at the farmer's market?
Answer: She sold 6.6kg of pears in the market.
Step-by-step explanation:
Weight of apples and pears at the farmer's market.=8.8 kilograms
Weight of apples = 1/4
which is = 1/4 x 8.8kg = 2.2 kg
Weight of Pears =Weight of apples and pears - Weight of apples
= 8.8kg- 2.2kg
= 6.6kg

Find the roots of the equation: f(x)=64x2+6=31
Answer:
5/8, -5/8
Step-by-step explanation:
64x^2 = 25
divide both sides by 64
x^2 = 25/64
take the square root of both sides, and the negative square roots
Answer:
x = 5/8=0.625 and x = -5/8=−0.625
Step-by-step explanation:
f(x)=64x^2+6=31
Subtract 6 from both sides.
64x^2+6=31
Subtract 6 from 31 to get 25.
64x^2=25
Divide both sides by 64.
x^2=25/64
Take the square root of both sides of the equation.
x=5/8=0.625
x=-5/8=−0.625
white chocolate costs $2.00 per bar, and dark chocolate costs $2.50 per bar. If you buy 15 bars of chocolate for $34, how many of each bar did you buy?
Answer:
7 white and 8 dark bars
Step-by-step explanation:
x white bars
15-x dark bars
cost of white bars is 2 * x
cost of dark bars is 2,5 * (15-x)
Write an equation
2x + 2,5 * (15-x) = 34
2x + 37,5 - 2,5x = 34
-0,5 x = - 3,5
x = 7
So we have x = 7 white bars
and 15 - x = 15 - 7 = 8 dark bars

Ali Clara and Shane raise money for new books for the school library all Ellie rays 20% more than Clara and $58 more than Shan Claries 1/4 times
Answer:
a. $435
b. 33.33%
Step-by-step explanation:
P.S - The exact question is -
Let Clara raised money = x
As given,
Ali raised 20% more than Clara
⇒Ali raised money = [tex]x + \frac{20}{100}x = x + \frac{1}{5} x = \frac{6}{5}x[/tex]
Also given,
Clara raised [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] times more than Shan
Clara raised money = Shan raise money + [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] times shan raired money
⇒Clara raised money = [tex]\frac{5}{4}[/tex] Shan raised money
⇒Shan raised money = [tex]\frac{4}{5}[/tex] times Clara
⇒Shan raised money = [tex]\frac{4}{5}[/tex] x
As given,
Ali raised $58 more than shan
⇒[tex]\frac{6}{5}x = \frac{4}{5}x + 58[/tex]
⇒[tex]\frac{6}{5}x -\frac{4}{5} x = 58[/tex]
⇒[tex]\frac{2}{5}x = 58[/tex]
⇒x = (29)(5) = $145
∴ we get
Clara raised money = x = $145
Ali raised money = [tex]\frac{6}{5}x[/tex] = $174
Shan raised money =[tex]\frac{4}{5}[/tex] x = $116
a.)
Total raised money = $145 + 174 + 116 = $435
b.)
Percentage of money Clara raised = [tex]\frac{145}{435}[/tex]×100% = [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex]×100% = 33.33%
A 1kg book is lifted 2m. How much work was done?
Answer:
work= force ×distance
force= mass × acceleration due to gravity
mass= 1kg
acceleration=10
Force=1×10=10N
Work=10×2=20joules
The work done is 20 joule.
What is Work done?
It should be converted to energy in order to move an object. Energy can be transferred by the use of force. Work done refers to the amount of energy used by a force to move an object.
Given:
mass, m= 1 Kg
So, force = mg = 1 x 10 = 10 N
and, displacement = 2m
Now, work done= force x displacement
= 10 x 2
= 20 Joules.
Hence, the work done is 20 joule.

A man knows that his apple tree is 51 ft high. At 11:00 am the tree casts a shadow of 68 ft. What is the angle of elevation of the sun? Round to the nearest tenth
Answer:
36.9 degrees
Step-by-step explanation:
This problem can be solved by drawing a right triangle and doing trigonometry. We can draw our triangle with a height of 51 and a base of 68. In order to find the angle from the ground to the sun we can use arctangent (tan^-1). Since tan(angle)=opposite/adjacent we can find the angle by doing angle=tan^-1(51/68)

Grace made a dot plot showing the distances she ran each day for two weeks.
She says that she usually runs 7 miles each day because that is the distance that occurs most often.
Do you agree with Grace’s reasoning?

Dot plot named as ALTDCDistances RunALTDC has number line from 1 to 7. 1 dot on 1, 3 dots on 2, 3 dots on 3, 3 dots on 4 and 4 dots on 7 are given.
The mode, which is (3,4, or 7) ,(is or is not) a typical distance for the data. The median, which is (3.5,4, or 7),(is or is not) a typical distance for the data. The mean, which is (3,4, or 7) ,(is or is not) a typical distance for the data. So, Grace’s reasoning(is or is not ) correct.

i think you made a mistake on "it got colder by 2C." If temperatures get colder, they drop, meaning you subtract it.
also, it said between the hours of 6-10pm, which is three hours, the temperature drops each hour by 3C. so, you multiply 3 to -3, and come up with -9
