The sum of the two numbers is 52 and the difference is 28. Calculate the numbers.

Answers

Answer 1

Let's set these two numbers as 'a' and 'b'

Now, let's set up equations based on the information known:

the sum of the two numbers is 52 --> a + b = 52the difference is 28 --> a - b =28

Equations

a + b = 52 -- equation 1a - b = 28 -- equation 2

Solve:

  (Equation 1) + (Equation 2)

  2a = 80

     a = 40 -- equation 3

  (Equation 3)

     40 + b = 52

       b = 12

So a  = 40 and b = 12

Hope that helps!

the measure of the interior angle on the same side of the transversal with the

Step-by-step

Step-by-step explanation:

the rules of the angles of 2 lines intersecting each other.

that means the angles on one side of the first line sind the intersection point, are the same as on the other side of the line - just left-right interchanged.

and to have a third line, parallel to the first line, where the exact same angles have to be, where the second line intersects the third line (a parallel line is like a mirror image of the first line : every look and feel has to be the same).

and then remember : all angles around a single point in one side of a line must be together 180°.

so, if the support beam has an angle of 125° with the top "line", the second angle there (the exterior Angie at that point) is then 180 - 125 = 55°.

this is all at the bottom side of the top "line".

these angles are therefore left-right exchanged the same on the top side of the top "line". so, 55° and 125° instead of 125° and 55°.

these angles at the top of the top "line" must be now exactly the same at the top of the parallel bottom "line" of the truss.

so, the interior angle there is 55°. and the exterior angle is 125°.

plz help! how many zeros abs relative minimums does it have?

Answers

Answer:

The degree of f(x) is even, and the leading coefficient is negative. There are  3 real zeros, and 1 relative minimum values.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the graph of f(x).

First, since both end behaviors are the same, our function must be an even-degree.

Second, since both end behaviors are going towards negative infinity, this means that the leading coefficient of our function must be negative.

The real zeros are whenever the graph touches or crosses the x-axis. We can see that this happens three times. I've circled them in blue in the image below.

Finally, relative minimum values are the lowest points in a graph, and then happen between a decreasing and then an increasing curve.

From, the graph, we only have one relative minimum value. This is circled in black in the image below.

Note that the arrows whether the curve is decreasing or increasing. We can see that the curve to the left of the minimum is decreasing, while the curve to the right of the minimum is increasing.

So, our solution is:

The degree of f(x) is even, and the leading coefficient is negative. There are  3 real zeros, and 1 relative minimum values.

And we're done!

Adam is saving money to buy a new computer that costs $550. His mom has given him $100 to begin. Each week, he deposits money into his savings account. The table shows the balance after t weeks. Time (t) in weeks 0 1 2 3 4 Balance (b) $100 $125 $150 $175 $200 Write an equation to represent this situation.

Answers

Answer:

25t + 100 = 550

Step-by-step explanation:

Notice that for every week, the balance increases by $25. That means t will be multiplied by 25 like this: 25t

There is already $100 on top of that, so add 100 to it like this: 25t + 100

Since Adam is saving for a $550 computer, this sum has to equal 550

25t + 100 = 550

If you want to find out how many weeks it will take to get that computer, subtract 100 from both sides

25t + 100 = 550

      - 100   - 100

25t = 450

Divide both sides by 25

25t/25 = 450/25

t = 18

It will take Adam 18 weeks to save up and buy that computer.

7 pencils cost £5.95.
How much do 11 pencils cost?

Answers

Answer:

11 pencils cost £9.35.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

7 pencils = £5.95

1 pencil = 5.95 ÷ 7

= £0.85

Now,

11 pencils = 11 × 0.85

= £9.35

Answer:

9.35$

Step-by-step explanation:

to find the cost of 11 pencils first we need to find the price of 1.

5.95 divided by 7 = 0.85$ (the price of one pencil)

we need to find the price of 11 pencils though.

0.85x11= 9.35$

Answer:

|-12.5|>|11.5|

Step-by-step explanation:

When you take the absolute value of a number you're essentially measuring the scalar value or magnitude of that number. "How big is that number as a number not as in + or -".

In other words the number becomes positive

|-12.5|=12.5

|11.5|=11.5

since 12.5>11.5

we can then say

|-12.5|>|11.5|

A group of 83 students are visiting the National Aquarium in Baltimore. Volunteers lead tours for groups no larger than 5 students at a time. How many tour guides are needed so all 83 students are able to participate in a guided tour of the aquarium

Answers

Answer:

17 tour guides

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to divide 83 by 5.

83 ÷ 5 = 16 R 3

As you can see, there are 16 tour guides that can handle 5 students each. However, there are a remainder of 3 students, so we need one extra tour guide. Thus, the answer is 17 tour guides.

Answer:

They need 17 tour guides

Step-by-step explanation:

If we divide 83 by 5, we would get 16.6, and since we can't have 16.6 tour guides, we round to the nearest whole number, which is 17.

To order for all students to participate, they would need 17 tour guides.

The buyer for a chain of stores purchased leather couches in bulk, paying $750 each. The stores will sell each leather couch for $1,275. What is the mark-up percentage?

Answers

Answer:

The mark-up percentage is 70%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us revise the rule of the mark-up percentage

[tex]M=\frac{S-P}{P}[/tex] × 100%, where

M is the mark-up percentageS is the selling priceP is the purchasing price

let us use this rule to solve the question

∵ The buyer purchased leather couches in bulk, paying $750 each

P = 750

∵ The stores will sell each leather couch for $1,275

S = 1,275

→ Substitute them in the rule above

∴ [tex]M=\frac{1275-750}{750}[/tex] × 100%

∴ [tex]M=\frac{525}{750}[/tex] × 100%

M = 70%

The mark-up percentage is 70%

Calvin's investment need to be increased by a factor of 115.9% to equal Marquez's investment at any time after Calvin's investment is made.

What is an exponential function?

An exponential function is in the form:

y = abˣ

Where a is the initial value of y and b is the multiplication factor.

Let v represent the value of the account after y years. Hence:

For Juana:

[tex]v=1500(1.03)^y[/tex]

Marquez invests three years before Juana,  Hence:

[tex]v'=1500(1.03)^{y+3}=1500(1.03)^y(1.03)^3=(1.03)^3*v=1.092727v[/tex]

Calvin invests two years after Juana. Hence:

[tex]v"=1500(1.03)^{y-2}=1500(1.03)^y*(1.03)^{-2}=(1.03)^{-2}v[/tex]

v' / v" = ((1.03)³ * v) / ((1.02⁻²) * v) = 1.159 = 115.9%

Calvin's investment need to be increased by a factor of 115.9% to equal Marquez's investment at any time after Calvin's investment is made.
