the sum of two numbers is 70. the larger number is five less than twice the smaller number . what are the two numbers

Answers

Answer 1
x+y=70
x=2y-5
x=larger number
y=smaller number
now plug in the value of x to only have one variable in the equation...
Way to solve for y:
(2y-5)+y=70
3y-5=70
add 5 on both sides...
3y=75
divide by 3 on both sides
y=25
1st way to solve for x:
now plug in y in the original equation...
x+25=70
subtract 25 on both sides...
x=45
2nd way to solve for x:
plug in y for the second equation...
x=25(2)-5
x=50-5
x=45
answer: the two numbers are 45 and 25.

Answer 2

Final answer:

To find the two numbers, we created a system of equations with the sum being 70 and the larger number as five less than twice the smaller number. Solving the equations, we found that the smaller number is 25 and the larger number is 45.

Explanation:

The question asks us to find two numbers where the sum is 70, and the larger number is five less than twice the smaller number. To solve this, we'll set up a system of equations with two variables, which we'll call x and y. The first equation would be x + y = 70, since their sum is 70. The second equation is derived from the statement that the larger number is five less than twice the smaller number, which can be expressed as y = 2x - 5. Now we substitute the second equation into the first to solve for x. We get x + (2x - 5) = 70. Simplifying, we have 3x - 5 = 70, thus 3x = 75, and therefore x = 25. With the smaller number found, we can determine the larger number using the second equation y = 2(25) - 5, resulting in y = 45. Hence, the two numbers are 25 and 45.

Which is the equation of the line with slope 5 that contains point (-2, -3)


A. y + 2 = 5(x – 3) B. y + 3 = 5(x + 2) C. y – 3 = 5(x – 2) D. y – 2 = 5(x – 3)

Answers

The answer is y = 5x + 7
here's how you get it:

Start with the base   y = mx + b
then imput the points and the slope:
-3 = 5 ( -2 ) + b

Then solve for b
-3 = 5 ( -2 ) + b
-3 = -10 + b
-b = -7
b = 7

so the equation is:

y = 5x + 7

The answer is y = 5x + 7

here's how you get it:

Start with the base   y = mx + b

then imput the points and the slope:

-3 = 5 ( -2 ) + b

Then solve for b

-3 = 5 ( -2 ) + b

-3 = -10 + b

-b = -7

b = 7

so the equation is:

y = 5x + 7

Find the common ratio of the geometric sequence: −320,80,−20,5,…−320,80,−20,5,… A. −14−14 B. 1414 C. -4 D. 4

Answers

I'm assuming the sequence is: -320, 80, -20, 5

Divide each term by the previous term to get the common ratio r

r = (term 2)/(term 1) = 80/(-320) = -1/4
r = (term 3)/(term 2) = -20/80 = -1/4
r = (term 4)/(term 3) = 5/(-20) = -1/4

No matter which term you pick (as long as it's not the first one) dividing it by the previous term leads to -1/4 or -0.25 as the common ratio

Answer: -1/4

It seems like none of the answer choices have -1/4 but it could be choice A was supposed to show "-1/4" instead of "-14"? Perhaps the division sign didn't show up for some reason?

A rectangular greenhouse has an area of 6480 square meters and a length of 120 meters. How many meters is it in width?

Answers

Area is length x width. If the area is 6480, and you know the length, plug it into the formula to find the width.


120 x width = 6480

So, to solve, you would divide 6480 by 120 to find the width. 6480/120 = 54.

Therefore, the width is 54.

W=A/L, A=6480 and L=120 so

which algebraic expression shows the average melting points of helium, hydrogen, and neon if h represents the melting point of helium, j represents the melting point of hydrogen, and k represents the melting point of neon?

A. h + j + k
B. hjk
c. h+j+k over 3
d. hjk over 3

Answers

Answer:

c. h+j+k over 3

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that,

[tex]\text{Average}=\frac{\text{Sum of observations}}{\text{Total number of observation}}[/tex]

Here, h, j and k represents the melting point of helium, hydrogen and Neon respectively,

Since, the sum of melting points = h + j + k,

Also, the total number of gases = 3,

Thus,

[tex]\text{Average melting points}=\frac{h+j+k}{3}[/tex]

Or (h+j+k) over 3

Option c is correct.

The algebraic expression which shows the average melting

points of helium, hydrogen, and neon is h+j+k over 3.

What is Average?

This is calculated with the sum of the items divided by the

number of items.

In this scenario, we were given the items as h, j and k. The

total number of items is 3.

The average will therefore be = h+j+k/3

A new cruise ship line just launched 3 new ships: the Pacific Paradise, the Caribbean Paradise, and the Mediterranean Paradise.
The Caribbean Paradise has 29 more than the Pacific Paradise. The Mediterranean Paradise has 30 fewer deluxe staterooms than twice the number of deluxe staterooms on the Pacific Paradise. Find the number of deluxe staterooms for each of the ships if the total of deluxe staterooms for the total of the three ships is 719.

Answers

c = caribbean, p = pacific, m = mediterranean

c = p + 29
m = 2p - 30
c + m + p = 719

(p + 29) + (2p - 30) + p = 719
4p - 1 = 719
4p = 719 + 1
4p = 720
p = 720/4
p = 180 <=== pacific paradise deluxe staterooms

c = p + 29
c = 180 + 29
c = 209 <=== caribbean paradise deluxe staterooms

m = 2p - 30
m = 2(180) - 30
m = 360 - 30
m = 330 <=== mediterranean paradise deluxe staterooms
Final answer:

To find the number of deluxe staterooms for each of the three ships, we can set up and solve an equation based on the given information.

Explanation:

Let's represent the number of deluxe staterooms on the Pacific Paradise ship as x.

The number of deluxe staterooms on the Caribbean Paradise is 29 more than the Pacific Paradise, so it can be represented as x + 29.

The number of deluxe staterooms on the Mediterranean Paradise is 30 fewer than twice the number of deluxe staterooms on the Pacific Paradise, so it can be represented as 2x - 30.

We can form an equation with the sum of the deluxe staterooms on all three ships: x + (x + 29) + (2x - 30) = 719.

Simplifying the equation gives us 4x - 1 = 719.

By adding 1 to both sides and dividing by 4, we can find the value of x which represents the number of deluxe staterooms on the Pacific Paradise ship.

Finally, we can substitute the value of x into the expressions for the other two ships to find their number of deluxe staterooms.
