Then the original price was $42
Because it is half off we multiply 21 by 2 and get 42.
3x(8r-1) x (4r+2s)
3x7r x (4r+2s)
21r x (4r+2s)
Answer:
The smaller number is 22
The larger number is 30
Step-by-step explanation:
L + S = 52
L = S + 8
Set both equations equal to L.
S + 8 = -S + 52
+S +S
2S + 8 = 52
- 8 - 8
2S = 44
S = 22
To find the larger number, plug 22 in as S into the equations.
L = 30
You want one of the values in the ratio to be one for a unit rate. First, write out the ratio. It is 70 miles/2 hours. It's better not to include decimal numbers when you write a ratio when you can, so we're going to make the hours the unit rate. To make 2 -> 1 hour, divide both sides of the ratio by 2. 70/2 = 35.
The unit rate is 35 mi./hr.
Hope that helped you.
