the sum of two numbers is 55 and the difference is 9. what are the numbers?

Answers

Answer 1
x + y= 55
x - y= 9
y = 23
x = 32

the numbers are 23 and 32
Answer 2
Difference is 9: x-y=9
From the second equation x=9+y (substitute that into the first equation to solve for y).
9+y+y=55


2y=46

y=23. (Substitute that back into the second equation to find x.)
x=9+y = 23+9 = 32.
23+32 = 55 (Check).

A=-0.7,B=-9/16,C=-0.4,D=-5/16

Answers

Because none of the points on the number line are above 0, we know that the points will be negative.
This eliminates the second and third choices, as they contain positive numbers.
The first point, A, is a number less than -0.5 or -1/2
The first choice matches A with -5/16, which is less than -0.5 or -1/2
Therefore, the fourth choice must be the correct answer.

Tom used 5/8 yard of ribbon to tie weights on the tail of his kite. He cut the length of ribbon into equal pieces that were 1/12 yard long. How many pieces, each 1/12 yard long, did Tom cut from the 5/8 yard ribbon?

Answers

Final answer:

Tom was able to cut 7.5 pieces of ribbon that were 1/12 yard long from a total length of 5/8 yard, which normally rounds down to 7 full pieces.

Explanation:

Tom cut his 5/8 yard ribbon into pieces that were 1/12 yard long. To find out how many such pieces Tom could cut, you divide the total length of ribbon by the length of each piece:

Calculate how many 1/12 yard pieces are in one yard by dividing 1 by 1/12. This equals 12, which means there are 12 pieces of 1/12 yard in one yard.

Multiply 5/8 by 12 to find out how many 1/12 yard pieces are in 5/8 of a yard. (5/8) * 12 = 7.5

Therefore, Tom was able to cut 7.5 pieces of ribbon, each measuring 1/12 yard. Since you can't have half a piece of ribbon, we would round down to 7 pieces (the question remains if the leftover could form a full piece, but based on the initial information, it's assumed to not be a full piece).

the segments below shown below could form a triangle

5(x + 30) 

x + 30 represents the number of minutes per day he practices
5 is the number of days he practices
so 5(x+30) = the total number of minutes he practices in 5 days

For example, if he practices the piano for 20 minutes per day and the violin for 30 minutes per day, he practices a total of 50 minutes per day. For 5 days that would be 5 x 50 = 250 minutes in 5 days.

Plug that into the equation
5(x+30) = 5(20+30) = 5(50) = 250

X+6y=29
2x-4y=-6
Solve for x in the first equation

Answers

Solve for x:
x + 6 y = 29 Subtract 6 y from both sides:
Answer:  x = 29 - 6 y
why did you add the second?

Final answer:

To solve for x in the equation X + 6y = 29, subtract 6y from both sides to isolate x, resulting in x = 29 - 6y. The solution for [tex]\( x \)[/tex] in the first equation is [tex]\( x = \frac{19}{2} \).[/tex]

Explanation:

To solve for [tex]\( x \)[/tex] in the first equation [tex]\( x + 6y = 29 \)[/tex], we can isolate [tex]\( x \)[/tex] by subtracting [tex]\( 6y \)[/tex] from both sides of the equation:

[tex]\[ x + 6y - 6y = 29 - 6y \][/tex]

[tex]\[ x = 29 - 6y \][/tex]

Now, we can substitute this expression for [tex]\( x \)[/tex] into the second equation [tex]\( 2x - 4y = -6 \):[/tex]

[tex]\[ 2(29 - 6y) - 4y = -6 \][/tex]

First, distribute the 2:

[tex]\[ 58 - 12y - 4y = -6 \][/tex]

Combine like terms:

[tex]\[ 58 - 16y = -6 \][/tex]

Next, isolate the term with [tex]\( y \)[/tex] by adding [tex]\( 16y \)[/tex] to both sides:

[tex]\[ 58 - 16y + 16y = -6 + 16y \][/tex]

[tex]\[ 58 = -6 + 16y \][/tex]

Now, isolate [tex]\( y \)[/tex]by subtracting 6 from both sides:

[tex]\[ 58 - 6 = 16y \][/tex]

[tex]\[ 52 = 16y \][/tex]

Finally, solve for [tex]\( y \)[/tex] by dividing both sides by 16:

[tex]\[ \frac{52}{16} = y \][/tex]

[tex]\[ y = \frac{13}{4} \][/tex]

Now that we have found the value of [tex]\( y \)[/tex], we can substitute it back into the expression we found for[tex]\( x \)[/tex]:

[tex]\[ x = 29 - 6\left(\frac{13}{4}\right) \][/tex]

[tex]\[ x = 29 - \frac{39}{2} \][/tex]

[tex]\[ x = \frac{58}{2} - \frac{39}{2} \][/tex]

[tex]\[ x = \frac{19}{2} \][/tex]

Therefore, the solution for [tex]\( x \)[/tex] in the first equation is [tex]\( x = \frac{19}{2} \).[/tex]

Harry has 3 bamboo poles of different lengths. The total combined length of the three poles when placed end to end is 47 1/2 inches long. Pole B is 1 3/4 times as long as pole A and pole C is 2 1/2 inches longer than pole A. Find the length of Pole C

Answers

Final answer:

To find the length of pole C, we can set up a system of equations using the given information. Solving the system of equations will give us the values of the lengths of poles A, B, and C. The length of pole C is found to be 14.5 inches.

Explanation:

We can solve this problem by setting up a system of equations. Let's represent the length of pole A as 'a', the length of pole B as 'b', and the length of pole C as 'c'. We are given that pole B is 1 3/4 times as long as pole A, so we can write the equation b = 1.75a. We are also given that pole C is 2 1/2 inches longer than pole A, so we can write the equation c = a + 2.5.



Since the total combined length of the three poles is 47 1/2 inches long, we can write the equation a + b + c = 47.5. Now we have a system of three equations:



b = 1.75ac = a + 2.5a + b + c = 47.5



We can solve this system of equations to find the length of pole C. Substituting equation 1 and equation 2 into equation 3, we get:



a + 1.75a + (a + 2.5) = 47.5



Combining like terms, we get:



3.75a + 2.5 = 47.5



Subtracting 2.5 from both sides, we get:



3.75a = 45



Dividing both sides by 3.75, we get:



a = 12



Now that we know the length of pole A, we can substitute it into equation 1 to find the length of pole B:



b = 1.75 * 12 = 21



Finally, we can substitute the length of pole A and pole B into equation 2 to find the length of pole C:



c = 12 + 2.5 = 14.5



Therefore, the length of pole C is 14.5 inches.

What is 2 and 5/14 divided by (2 and 5/8 times 1 and 3/7)?

33/14 * 28/105 = 132/210 reduces to 22/35 <==
Final answer:

To divide 2 and 5/14 by (2 and 5/8 times 1 and 3/7), convert the mixed numbers to improper fractions, multiply the fractions in the denominator and numerator separately, and then divide by multiplying by the reciprocal of the second fraction. The final answer is 44/5.

Explanation:

To divide 2 and 5/14 by (2 and 5/8 times 1 and 3/7), we first need to convert the mixed numbers into improper fractions. 2 and 5/14 can be written as 33/14, 2 and 5/8 can be written as 21/8, and 1 and 3/7 can be written as 10/7. Next, we can multiply the fractions in the denominator and the fractions in the numerator separately. So (2 and 5/8 times 1 and 3/7) becomes (21/8 times 10/7). This can be simplified to (105/8 times 10/7). We then multiply the numerators (105 * 10) and the denominators (8 * 7) resulting in 1050/56.

Now we can divide 33/14 by 1050/56. Division is the same as multiplying by the reciprocal of the second fraction. So 33/14 divided by 1050/56 is the same as 33/14 times 56/1050. We can simplify this by canceling common factors. After canceling, we are left with (33 * 8) / (2 * 15), which becomes 264/30. Finally, we can reduce this fraction to its simplest form by dividing the numerator and denominator by their greatest common factor, which is 6. So the final answer is 44/5.
