4) the sum of two numbers is 21. the smaller number is three more than half the larger number. what are the two numbers? 13) you purchase 5 movies and a cd. the cost of the cd is $8.50. your total bill before tax is $38.45. write and solve an equation to find the cost of a movie.

4) smaller number is 9, larger number is 12

13) 38.45=5m+8.5

m=5.99

Step-by-step explanation:

x+y=21      the sum of two numbers is 21

x-3=.5y  the smaller number is 3 more than half the larger number

multiply both sides by 2 and you get 2x-6=y

plug that equation into the first equation and you get x+2x-6=21

simplifying you get 3x-6=21 add 6 to  both sides and you get 3x=27

x=9 so the smaller number is 9 then you plug that back into the first equation and get y=12

let m be the cost of 1 movie and c be the cost of the cd

38.45=5m+c

38.45=5m+8.5 this is the equation you use

subtract 8.5 from both sides and you get 29.95=5m

divide both sides by 5

5.99=m the answer

t = 3

step-by-step explanation:

put t = 3 in this expression :

(3²-1)(3²-2)(3² - 3)(3² - 4) = 8×7×6×5 = 56×30 = 1680

283 square feet

step-by-step explanation:
