Answer: x=31 and y = 19

Step-by-step explanation:

X+y=50

X-y=12

2x + 0y = 62

Divide both sides by 2

2x/2 = 62/2

x = 31

Now find y by plugging in 31 for x

31+y = 50

Subtract 31

y = 50-31

y = 19

Answer:

The two numbers are 31 and 19

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x and y be the numbers

x+y = 50

x-y = 12

Add the two equations together

x+y = 50

x-y = 12

-----------------

2x +0y = 62

Divide by 2

2x/2 = 62/2

x = 31

Now find y

31+y = 50

Subtract 31

y = 50-31

y = 19

What is the value of x in the equation 1/2x-3/4=3/8-5/8x?

Vladimir [108]

Answer:

x = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

1/2x - 3/4 = 3/8 - 5/8x

The LCD is 8. Lets change every fraction to a denominator of 8.

4/8x - 6/8 = 3/8 - 5/8x

Now multiply both sides by 8.

4x - 6 = 3 - 5x

Add 5x to both sides. Add 6 to both sides.

9x = 9

Divide both sides by 9.

x = 1

The area of a circle is 616cm find the radius

Leokris [45]

<h3>Given :-</h3>

Area of Circle = 616 cm²

Radius of a circle = ?

<h3>Solution :-</h3>

☼︎ <u>Radius of the Circle</u>;

<h3>Using Formula:</h3>

$\\ \red\bigstar {\underline{\boxed{\color{springgreen}{\textsf{ \textbf{ \: Area \: of \: circle= \: \: π \: r \: ² \: }}}}}} \\\\$

<u>Putting values in the formula;</u>

$\\ \sf \implies \: Area \: = \: \pi \: r \: ^{2} \\$

$\\ \sf \implies \: 616 \: = \:\frac{22}{7} \times \: r \: ^{2} \\$

$\\ \sf \implies \: 616 \: \times \: \frac{7}{22} \: = \: \: r \: ^{2} \\$

$\\ \sf \implies \: \: \frac{ \: \: 4312 \: \: }{22} \: = \: \: r \: ^{2} \\$

$\\ \sf \implies \: \: \cancel{\frac{ \: \: 4312 \: \: }{22} }\: = \: \: r \: ^{2} \\$

$\\ \sf \implies \: \: \: 196 \: \: = \: \: r \: ^{2} \\$

$\\ \sf \implies \: \:r \: ^{2} = \: 196 \: \: \: \: \\$

$\\ \sf \implies \: \:r \: = \sqrt{ \: 196 \: } \\$

$\\ \bf \implies \: \:Radius \: = 14 \: cm \\$

henceforth, the Radius of a circle is 14 cm ...!!

Marty is taking piano lessons. She is going to practice every afternoon. The 1st week she practiced for 11 minutes each day. The

Answer:

$m=7w+4$

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Linear Modeling</u>

It consist is setting up a linear relationship between two variables, given some experimental data. Only 2 points are needed to set up the equation of a line, but if more than 2 points are used, then the result should use statistical approaches like linear regression to find the best-fit line.

For the question at hand, Marty practices his piano lessons 11 minutes the week #1. It provides the first point (1,11). He practices 25 minutes per day on the third week. It gives us another point (3,25). This is enough to find the equation of a line. The general formula for a line, having two points (m1,w1) (m2,w2) is

$\displaystyle m-m_1=\frac{m_2-m_1}{w_2-w_1}(w-w_1)$

Let's plug in our values

$\displaystyle m-11=\frac{25-11}{3-1}(w-1)$

Simplifying:

$m-11=7w-7$

$\boxed{m=7w+4}$
