Answer: 14, 9

Step-by-Step Explanation:

Let larger no. be ‘x’
Let smaller no. be ‘y’

Sum (x + y) = 23
Difference (x - y) = 5

Therefore,
x + y = 23 => Eq. 1
x - y = 5 => Eq. 2

On Adding Eq. 1 and 2, we get :-
=> 2x + 0 = 28
=> 2x = 28
=> x = 28/2 = 14

Substitute x = 14 in Eq. 1 :-
=> x + y = 23
=> 14 + y = 23
=> y = 23 - 14 = 9

Therefore, x = 14 ; y = 9

Hence,
Larger number = 14
Smaller number = 9

Answer:

<h2><u><em>9</em></u> </h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Two numbers have a sum of 23 and a difference of 5. What is the smaller of the two numbers.

x + y = 23

x - y = 5

(23 - 5) : 2 = 9

9 + 5 = 14

check

14 + 9 = 23

14 - 9 = 5

A recipe for chili calls for 4/5 cup of water. You are making 1/3of the recipe. How much water do you use?
mrs_skeptik [129]
Sense, the recipe would then have to be using as a whole of 4/5 of water, we would then, have to divide 4/5 by 1/3, and by us doing this, we would then get our answer as the following:

\boxed{\boxed{ \frac{4}{5}\div \frac{1}{3}=  5/12}}

The perimeters of the triangles shown below are equal
Naya [18.7K]

Answer:

x=19

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter of the right triangle is

P=9+12+15 =36

The perimeter of the left triangle is

P =x-7+ x-7+ x-7 = 3x-21

Set them equal

36 = 3x-21

Add 21 to each side

36+21 = 3x-21+21

57 = 3x

Divide each side by 3

57/3 = 3x/3

19 =x
