The sum of two numbers is 120. The greater number is 3 times the
smaller. Find these numbers.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

x= 30, y= 90

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the smaller number be x and the greater number be y.

Given that the sum of the 2 numbers is 120,

x +y= 120 -----(1)

The greater number is 3 times the smaller number:

y= 3x -----(2)

Substitute (2) into (1):

x +3x= 120

Simplify:

4x= 120

x= 120 ÷4 (÷4 on both sides)

x= 30

Substitute x= 30 into (2):

y= 3(30)

y= 90

Answer 2

Answer:

Solution :-

Let the first number be x

Then the second number will be 3 × x = 3x

According to the question

3x + x = 120

4x = 120

Taking 4 to RHS

x = 120/4

x = 30

Number are

x = 30

3x = 3(30) = 90

Complete Question

Lisa needs 18 yards of red, gold, and green fabric to make a quilt.

She bought 6 3/4 yards of red fabric and 4 1/ 3 yards of gold fabric. What is the most accurate estimate for the amount of green fabric Lisa bought?

Answer:

6 11/12 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

The total yards of fabric = Red + Blue + Green

18 = 6 3/4 + 4 1/3 + Green

Green = 18 - (6 3/4 + 4 1/3) yards

Lowest Common Denominator = 12

18 - (10 + ( 3/4 + 1/3) yards

18 - (10 + ( 9 + 4/12) yards

18 - ( 10 + 13/12) yards

18 - ( 10 + 1 1/12) yards

18 - 11 1/12 yards

= 6 11/12 yards

Therefore, the most accurate estimate for the amount of green fabric Lisa bought is 6 11/12 yards

What is the area of the rectangle with the given dimensions? *

The dimensions of a rectangle are 2x - 5 and
3x + 3. Which expression represents the area
of the rectangle in simplest terms?

F 6x2 - 9x - 15
G 6x2 - 9x + 15
H 6x + 9x - 15
J 6x - 15x - 9

Answers

Given:

The dimensions of a rectangle are [tex]2x-5[/tex] and [tex]3x+3[/tex].

To find:

The expression that represents the area of the rectangle in simplest terms.

Solution:

Area of a rectangle is:

[tex]Area=Length\times Width[/tex]

The dimensions of a rectangle are [tex]2x-5[/tex] and [tex]3x+3[/tex]. So, the area of the given rectangle is:

[tex]Area=(2x-5)\times (3x+3)[/tex]

[tex]Area=2x(3x)+2x(3)-5(3x)-5(3)[/tex]

[tex]Area=6x^2+6x-15x-15[/tex]

[tex]Area=6x^2-9x-15[/tex]

Therefore, the correct option is F, i.e., [tex]6x^2-9x-15[/tex].

Describe lengths of three segments that could not be used to form a triangle. Segments with lengths of 5 in., 5 in., and ______ in. Cannot form a triangle.

Answers

Answer:

[tex]c = 11[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Let the three sides be a, b and c

Such that:

[tex]a = b= 5[/tex]

Required

Find c such that a, b and c do not form a triangle

To do this, we make use of the following triangle inequality theorem

[tex]a + b > c[/tex]

[tex]a + c > b[/tex]

[tex]b + c > a[/tex]

To get a valid triangle, the above inequalities must be true.

To get an invalid triangle, at least one must not be true.

Substitute: [tex]a = b= 5[/tex]

[tex]5 + 5 > c[/tex] [tex]===>[/tex] [tex]10 > c[/tex]

[tex]5 + c > 5[/tex]  [tex]===>[/tex] [tex]c > 5 - 5[/tex] [tex]===>[/tex] [tex]c > 0[/tex]

[tex]5 + c > 5[/tex]  [tex]===>[/tex] [tex]c > 5 - 5[/tex] [tex]===>[/tex] [tex]c > 0[/tex]

The results of the inequality is: [tex]10 > c[/tex] and [tex]c > 0[/tex]

Rewrite as: [tex]c > 0[/tex] and [tex]c < 10[/tex]

[tex]0 < c < 10[/tex]

This means that, the values of c that make a valid triangle are 1 to 9 (inclusive)

Any value outside this range, cannot form a triangle

So, we can say:

[tex]c = 11[/tex], since no options are given

What is the quotient of 5 1/2 ÷ 3/8?

Answers

Answer:

14 2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

It's easiest to convert 5 1/2 to the improper fraction 11/2.

Then the problem calls for dividing 11/2 by 3/8, which, in turn, is equivalent to

the product of 11/2 and 8/3:

 11      8

---- * ----- = 88/6 or 44/3 or 14 2/3
