Let us assume the larger number = x
Let us assume the smaller number = y
Then
x + y = 3 3/4
x + y = 15/4
And
x/3 = (2y/3) + 1/2
x = [3 * (2y/3)] + (3/2)
= 2y + (3/2)
Now putting the value of x from the second equation to the first , we get
x + y = 15/4
2y + (3/2) + y = 15/4
3y = (15/4) - (3/2)
3y = (15 - 6)/4
3y * 4 = 9
12y = 9
y = 9/12
= 3/4
Now putting the value of y in the first equation, we get
x + y = 15/4
x + (3/4) = (15/4)
x = (15/4) - (3/4)
= (15 - 3)/4
= 12/4
= 3
So the value of x or the larger number is 3 and the value of y or the smaller number is 3/4.

54 * (2/3) = 36 students were on the bus.
54 - 36 = 18 chaperones were on the bus.
Answer:
1 sub = $5.50; 1 sandwich = $4.00
Step-by-step explanation:
You can solve this using a matrix and solving using reduced row-echelon form.
Yo sup??
This question can be solved by applying the properties of similar triangles
the triangle with sides 5x and 20 is similar to the triangle with sides 45 and 35
The similarity property used here is called AAA ie angle angle angle property as all the three angles of the 2 triangles are equal.
therefore we can say
5x/45=20/36
x=5 units
Hope this helps
