Let one of the numbers be x and the other be y.

The sum of the two numbers is 361:
⇒ x + y = 361

The difference between the two number is 173:
⇒x - y = 173

To solve this, we will make x the subject in one equation and substitute it into the other equation.

equation 1: x + y = 361
equation 2: x - y = 173

From equation 1:
x + y = 361
x = 361 - y

Now that we make x the subject, we will substitute it into the equation 2:

x - y = 173
(361 - y) - y = 173
361 - y - y = 173
361 - 2y = 173
2y = 361 - 173
2y = 188
y = 94

Now that we know that y = 94, we substitute it into equation 1 to find the value of x.

x + y = 361
x + 94 = 361
x = 361 - 94
x = 267

-------------------------------------------------
The two numbers are 267 and 94.

The amount of rhubarb in the original recipe is 3 1/2 cups. Using what you know of whole numbers and what you know of fractions,

Alexxx [7]

The easiest way, I think, is to convert the mixed number into an improper fraction, then multiply by 3.
3 1/2 = 7/2
7/2 · 3 = 21/2
now just change the improper fraction back to a mixed number by dividing and putting the remainder into fraction form
21/2 = 10 1/2

You could also multiply the whole number by 3 and the fraction by 3, ending up with 9 3/2, but then have to convert the improper fraction into a mixed number
3/2 = 1 1/2
then add the numbers together
9 + 1 1/2 = 10 1/2
either way works, whatever is easiest for you.

The two-way frequency table below shows data on student behavior and the use of positive phone calls home as an incentive for go

dusya [7]

Answer:

From the frequency table, let's calculate the row total.

Row total for phone call = 19 + 9 = 28

Row total for no phone call = 8 +6 = 14

To calculate their respective row relative frequencies, let's use:

Row relative freq = $\frac{freq.}{Row total}$

Now, the two-way frequency table will be computed as:

For phone call:

Desirable behavior = $\frac{19}{28} = 0.67857$ ≈0.69

Undesirable behaviour = $\frac{9}{28} = 0.3214$ ≈0.32

No phone call:

Desirable behaviour = $\frac{8}{14} = 0.5714$ ≈ 0.57

Undesirable behaviour = $\frac{6}{14} = 0.4286$ ≈ 0.43

The complete two-way table is attached.

Solve for d.

r-ruslan [8.4K]

5d + 2(2 - d) = 3(1 + d) + 1
5d + 2(2) - 2(d) = 3(1) + 3(d) + 1
5d + 4 - 2d = 3 + 3d + 1
5d - 2d + 4 = 3d + 3 + 1
3d + 4 = 3d + 4
<u>-3d    -3d </u>
   4 = 4
   d = 0
