X= larger number
x-6= smaller number
x + (x - 6)= 62
combine like terms
2x - 6= 62
add 6 to both sides
2x= 68
divide both sides by 2
x= 34 larger number
SMALLER NUMBER
x - 6= 34 - 6= 28
ANSWER: The smaller number is 28 and the larger number is 34.
Hope this helps! :)
Ratios are proportional if they represent the same relationship. One way to see if two ratios are proportional is to write them as fractions and then reduce them. If the reduced fractions are the same, your ratios are proportional. To see this process in action, check out this tutorial!
:
The first one = 60.3 so it can’t be that one.
the second one = 34.5 so not that one either
the third one = 60.3
and the last one = 28.3
Answer:
x=3
y=-2
Step-by-step explanation:
2x - 5y = 16
3x + 2y = 5
Solve for x in the first equation.
2x - 5y = 16
2x = 16 + 5y
x = (16 + 5y)/2
x = 8 + 5/2y
Put x as 8 + 5/2y in the second equation and solve for y.
3(8+5/2y) + 2y = 5
24+15/2y + 2y = 5
24 + 19/2y = 5
19/2y = 5-24
19/2y = -19
y = -2
Put y as -2 in the first equation and solve for x.
2x - 5(-2) = 16
2x +10 = 16
2x = 16-10
2x = 6
x = 3
