Answer:
x = 12 , y = 10
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x , y are two numbers.
x > y
1 ) Three times the greater is 18 times their
difference
3x = 18( x - y )
x = 6( x - y )
x = 6x - 6y
6y = 5x
y = 5x/6 ——-( 1 )
2 ) 4 times the smaller is 4 less than twice
the sum of the two
4y + 4 = 2 ( x + y )
2y + 2 = x + y
y = x -2 ——( 2 )
From ( 1 ) and ( 2 ) ,
5x/6 = x -2
( 5x /6 ) - x = -2
( 5x - 6x ) /6 = -2
-x = -12
x = 12
Put x = 12 in equation ( 2 ) , we get
y = 12 - 2
y = 10
Therefore ,
x = 12 , y = 10
You can but it would be going straight up and down
Answer:
11.7647059 % gain
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the gain, take the new amount and subtract the original amount
9500-8500 = 1000
Divide by the original amount
1000/8500=.117647059
Multiply by 100% to get in percent form
11.7647059 % gain
The first choice because it’s easier than having to add a bunch of numbers so S=(9)(2)(4)
Initial, x = 0, b = 50000
day 1, x = 1, b = 50000 (1.05)^-1
day 2, x = 2, b = 50000 (1.05) =^-2
day 2 / day 1 = 1.05^-2 / 1.05^-1 = 1.05^-1 = 0.952
Which means that the number of bacteria decreased 4.8%
