Answer: Hope this helps.

13, 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Number one is 13

Number two is 7

Well 7 x 2 = 14, 14-1 = 7, and 7+13 = 20 making the answers true.

I figured out this number by eliminating numbers, I started with 5, ended with 8 to make a range of the possible numbers. Since 5 was too low and 8 was too high I knew the number had to be either 6 or 7, so I did 7 and I got the answer.

Answer:

7 and 13

You can set up a simple equation to solve this: <u>x + (2x-1) = 20</u>

The x stands for the second, smaller number because the larger number is one less than twice it. When added together, they equal 20.

Now, you just solve for x. It goes as follows:

x + 2x - 1 = 20

3x - 1 = 20

3x = 21

<u>x = 7</u>


Since one number is 7, the other number has to be 13 to add up to 20.


Hope this helps!!! :)

you are riding a train. your carry-on bag can weigh no more than 50 pounds. Your bag weighs 38 pounds. How much more can you add
Strike441 [17]

Let the additional weight that can be added be = x

Current weight of the bag = 38 pounds

Total weight can be = 50 pounds

The equation becomes:

38+x\leq50

x\leq50-38=12

Hence, a weight of 12 pounds cab be added to the current wight.
