Two positive numbers are in the ratio 2 : 3. Find the numbers if ​(a) their sum is 55 and ​(b) their product is 384.

Answers

Answer 1

say the numbers are "a" and "b", we know that they're in the ratio of 2:3, or namely that

[tex]\stackrel{\textit{in the ratio of 2 to 3}}{a~:~b\qquad \qquad 2:3}\qquad \qquad \implies \qquad \cfrac{a}{b}=\cfrac{2}{3}\implies \cfrac{3a}{2}=b \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ \stackrel{\textit{their sum is 55}}{a + b = 55}\implies a + \cfrac{3a}{2}=55\implies \stackrel{\textit{multiplying both sides by }\stackrel{LCD}{2}}{2\left( a + \cfrac{3a}{2} \right)=2(55)} \\\\\\ 2a+3a=110\implies 5a=110\implies a = \cfrac{110}{2}\implies \boxed{a = 22}[/tex]

[tex]\stackrel{\textit{we know that}}{\cfrac{3a}{2}=b}\implies \cfrac{3(22)}{2}=b\implies \boxed{33=b} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ \stackrel{\textit{their product is 384}}{ab=384}\implies a\left( \cfrac{3a}{2} \right)=384\implies \cfrac{3a^2}{2}=384\implies 3a^2=768 \\\\\\ a^2=\cfrac{768}{3}\implies a^2=256\implies a=\sqrt{256}\implies \boxed{a=16} \\\\\\ \stackrel{\textit{we know that}}{\cfrac{3a}{2}=b}\implies \cfrac{3(16)}{2}=b\implies \boxed{24=b}[/tex]

Answer 2

The positive numbers for both the parts are obtained as 22,33 and 16,24 respectively.

How to write a linear equation?

A linear equation for the given case can be written by assuming any variable as the unknown quantity. Then, as per the given data the required operations are done and it is equated to some value.

(a) As per the question, the numbers can be considered as 2x and 3x respectively.

Then, the equation for their sum can be written as follows,

3x + 2x = 55

⇒ 5x = 55

⇒ x = 11

The numbers are obtained as 2 × 11 = 22 and 3 × 11 = 33.

(b) Similarly, the equation for the product of numbers can be written as,

3x × 2x = 384

⇒ 6x² = 384

⇒ x² = 64

⇒ x = 8

The numbers are obtained as 2× 8 = 16 and 3 × 8 = 24.

The required number for both the cases are 22,33 and 16,24 respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

A = 1011 + 337 + 337/2 +1011/10 + 337/5 + ... + 1/2021

Answers

The sum of the given series can be found by simplification of the number

of terms in the series.

A is approximately 2020.022

Reasons:

The given sequence is presented as follows;

A = 1011 + 337 + 337/2 + 1011/10 + 337/5 + ... + 1/2021

Therefore;

[tex]\displaystyle A = \mathbf{1011 + \frac{1011}{3} + \frac{1011}{6} + \frac{1011}{10} + \frac{1011}{15} + ...+\frac{1}{2021}}[/tex]

The n + 1 th term of the sequence, 1, 3, 6, 10, 15, ..., 2021 is given as follows;

[tex]\displaystyle a_{n+1} = \mathbf{\frac{n^2 + 3 \cdot n + 2}{2}}[/tex]

Therefore, for the last term we have;

[tex]\displaystyle 2043231= \frac{n^2 + 3 \cdot n + 2}{2}[/tex]

2 × 2043231 = n² + 3·n + 2

Which gives;

n² + 3·n + 2 - 2 × 2043231 = n² + 3·n - 4086460 = 0

Which gives, the number of terms, n = 2020

[tex]\displaystyle \frac{A}{2} = \mathbf{ 1011 \cdot \left(\frac{1}{2} +\frac{1}{6} + \frac{1}{12}+...+\frac{1}{4086460} \right)}[/tex]

[tex]\displaystyle \frac{A}{2} = 1011 \cdot \left(1 - \frac{1}{2} +\frac{1}{2} - \frac{1}{3} + \frac{1}{3}- \frac{1}{4} +...+\frac{1}{2021}-\frac{1}{2022} \right)[/tex]

Which gives;

[tex]\displaystyle \frac{A}{2} = 1011 \cdot \left(1 - \frac{1}{2022} \right)[/tex]

[tex]\displaystyle A = 2 \times 1011 \cdot \left(1 - \frac{1}{2022} \right) = \frac{1032231}{511} \approx \mathbf{2020.022}[/tex]

A ≈ 2020.022

A is equal to 1,685.00049.

Given that A = 1011 + 337 + 337/2 +1011/10 + 337/5 + ... + 1/2021, the following calculation must be performed to determine the result of this operation:

337/2 = 168.5 1011/10 = 101.1 337/5 = 67.4 1/2021 = 0.00049  1011 + 337 + 168.5 + 101.1 + 67.4 + 0.00049 = A 1685.00049 = A

What is the price each of one student ticket?

Plz explain how to do this

Answers

Answer:

The price of 1 adult ticket is 12 dollars, and the price of a ticket for one student is 7 dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

Make a system of equations for the two days that the play was shown.

Let x = the price of an adult ticket

Let y = the price of a student ticket

For the first day:

9x+8y=164

For the second day:

2x+7y=73

Now, we can solve using the elimination method. Multiply the first equation by 2 and the second equation by 9. Then swap the order of the equations.

18x+63y= 657-18x+16y= 3280x+ 47y= 329divide both sides by 47y = 7Plug in 7 for y for the 2nd equation2x+7(7)=732x+49=73subtract 49 from both sides2x= 24divide both sides by 2x = 12 Check:2(12)+7(7)=7324+49= 73!

Given ABCD, solve for x.
A. 11
B. 13
C. 14
D. 12

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Because you have a parallelogram, the two angles shown are "same side interior angles" which means they add up to 180°.

We would say that they are supplementary (they add up to 180°)

So add them together and set them equal to 180°

(4x+18) + (8x+30) = 180°

This is all adding, so we dont really need any of these parenthesis.

4x+18+8x+30=180

Add the x terms together and add the constants (plain numbers) together.

12x + 48 = 180

Subtract 48 from both sides of the equation.

12x = 132

Divide both sides by 12

x = 11
