Is it possible for two numbers to have a difference of 5, and a sum of 12?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

yes, 8.5 and 3.5

Step-by-step explanation:

8.5 + 3.5 = 12

8.5 - 3.5 = 5

Answer 2

An equation is a mathematical statement that is made up of two expressions connected by an equal sign.

The two numbers are 8.5 and 3.5.

Yes, it is possible to have two numbers that have a difference of 5 and a sum of 12.

What is an equation?

An equation is a mathematical statement that is made up of two expressions connected by an equal sign.

Example:

2x + 3 = 4 is an equation.

3x = 4 + 3 is an equation.

We have,

Let the two numbers be M and N.

Now,

Two numbers have a difference of 5.

This can be written as,

M - N = 5 _____(1)

Two numbers sum is 12.

This can be written as,

M + N = 12 _____(2)

From (1) and (2) we get,

M - N = 5

M = 5 + N _____(3)

Putting (3) in (2)

M + N = 12

5 + N + N = 12

5 + 2N = 12

2N = 12 - 5

2N = 7

N = 7/2

N = 3.5

Putting in (3) we get,

M = 5 + 3.5

M = 8.5

We can cross-check.

M - N = 5

8.5 - 3.5 = 5 (PROVED)

M + N = 12

8.5 + 3.5 = 12 (PROVED)

Thus,

The two numbers are 8.5 and 3.5.

Yes, it is possible to have two numbers that have a difference of 5 and a sum of 12.

Using the Triangle Sum Theorem, find x and the missing angles (2x +1) (5x +5) x= Angle (2x+1) = Angle (5x+5) =​

Answers

Answer:

x = 12

(2x + 1)° = 25°

(5x + 5)° = 65°

Step-by-step explanation:

By the property of a triangle,

Sum of all angles of a triangle is 180°

In the given right triangle,

(2x + 1)° + 90° + (5x + 5)°= 180°

7x + 96 = 180

7x = 180 - 96

x = [tex]\frac{84}{7}[/tex]

x = 12

Angle (2x + 1)° = 2(12) + 1 = 25°

Angle (5x + 5)° = 5(12) + 5 = 65°

Therefore, all three angles of the right triangle are 25°, 90° and 65°.

A small-town newspaper examines its daily circulation. Last week, it sold 200 newspapers daily. This week, it sold 186 newspapers daily. Part A: What is the percent decrease in the newspaper's circulation since last week? Part B: If circulation decreases by the same percent next week, what will the daily circulation be?

Answers

Answer:

7%

173

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Daily sales last week = 200

Daily sales this week = 186

% decrease in newspaper circulation :

(Decrease / initial amount) * 100%

((200 - 186) / 200) * 100%

(14 / 200) * 100%

0.07 * 100%

= 7%

Part B: If circulation decreases by the same percent next week, what will the daily circulation be?

7% decrease the following week :

(100% - 7%) of 186

93% * 186

0.93 * 186

= 172.98

= 173

A neon sign blinks every 6 minutes, and another sign blinks every 8 minutes. How often do they blink at the same time?A.Every 14 minutesb.Every 24 minutesc.Every 48 minutesd.Every 2 minutes

Answers

Answer:

b. Every 24 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

A neon sign blinks every 6 minutes, and another sign blinks every 8 minutes.

The first step is to:

Find and list multiples of each time each neon sign blinks.

This means, we find the Multiples of 6 and 8

Multiples of 6:

6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36

Multiples of 8:

8, 16, 24, 32, 40

The first and common multiple of 6 and 8.

Therefore, the Least common multiple [LCM(6, 8) ] = 24

Hence, they often blink at the same time every 24 minutes.

Therefore, option b.Every 24 minutes is correct.

Find the slope of the line that goes through the points (9,-13) and (7,3).

Answers

hi

You have two points     A ( X;Y)  and B ( X ; Y)

 slope is   :    ( Yb -Ya)   / (Xb -Xa )

(3 - (-13) ) / ( 7 - 9)  =    (3 +13)  /  -2 =   16/-2  =  - 16/2 = -8  

slope is  -8

Answer:

-8

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope formula is as follows:

m = y2 - y1 / x2 - x2

You would first plug in the points into the formula, and this is what you would get:

m = 3 - (-13) / 7 - 9

From there, because of additive inverse, the negative signs would become + signs.

m = 3 + 13 / 7 - 9

You would now add/subtract.

m = 16 / -2

And lastly, you would simplify.

m = 8/-1

8/-1 is the same thing as a slope of -8.

m∠W is 28°

m∠X is 24°

Step-by-step explanation:

In any triangle, the measure of an exterior angle at one vertex of a triangle equals the sum of the measures of the two interior angles opposite to this vertex

In the given figure

∵ ∠WYZ is an exterior angle of Δ XYW at vertex Y

∵ ∠W and ∠X are the interior angles of Δ XYW opposite to the vertex Y

→ Use the fact above

m∠WYZ = m∠X + m∠W

∵ m∠WYZ = 52°

∵ m∠X = 3y°

∵ m∠W = (4y - 4)°

→ Substitute them in the equation above

52 = 3y + 4y - 4

→ Add the like terms

∴ 52 = 7y - 4

→ Add 4 to both sides

∵ 52 + 4 = 7y - 4 + 4

∴ 56 = 7y

→ Divide both sides by 7

∵ [tex]\frac{56}{7}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{7y}{y}[/tex]

8 = y

→ Substitute y in the measures of ∠X and ∠W

∵ m∠X = 3(8)

m∠X = 24°

∵ m∠W = 4(8) - 4 = 32 - 4

m∠W = 28°

At Summer camp, campers are divided into groups. Each group has 16 campers and 2 cabins. How many cabins are needed are needed for 48 campers? A: 14 B: 20 C: 6 D: 30

Answers

Answer:

6

Step-by-step explanation:

At summer camp campers are divided into groups

Each group has 16 campers and 2 cabins

Therefore the number of cabins needed for 48 campers can be calculated as follows

16 campers = 2 cabins

48 campers = x

Cross multiply

16 × x = 48×2

16x =96

x= 96/16

x= 6

Hence 6 cabins are needed for 24 campers

A ball is dropped from a height of 8 feet. If every time it bounces, it bounces 60% of its previous height, what is the total distance traveled by the ball?

Answers

Answer:

20feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Initial height of the ball = 8feet

If it bounces 60% of its previous height, its new height will be;

60% of 8

= 60/100 * 8

= 480/100

= 4.8 ft

If it bounces 60% of its current distance, new height will be expressed as;

60% of 4.8

= 0.6 * 4.8

= 2.88

The height of the ball will keep reducing and form a geometric progression of the form 8, 4.8, 2.88...

In order to get the total distance traveled by the ball, we need to calculate the sum to infinity of the sequence;

S∞ = a/1-r where;

a is the first term = 8

r is the common ratio

[tex]r = \frac{4.8}{8} = \frac{2.88}{4.8}\\r = 0.6[/tex]

Substitute into the formula;

S∞ = a/1-r

S∞ = 8/1-0.6

S∞ = 8/0.4

S∞ = 20feet

Hence the total distance traveled by the ball is 20feet
