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 need 112 K-cups for a party. A box of K-cups costs $16 for 36 K-cups. What is the minimum amount of money you will spend?
makkiz [27]

Answer:

$49.60

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation setup I used for this was as follows: $16 x (112/36)

Using PEMDAS, you'd start with the division part, 112/36. Although, I did this a bit differently, and being a bit further in school, I don't know if you go through this where you're at.

Start by factoring 112 into 4(28). This leaves you with 4(28)/36.

Next, cancel 4 out of 36. Since 4 is the common factor in 28 and 36, you cancel the four out of the equation, leaving you with 28/9. Convert this to its decimal form, 3.1.

Finally, take the 3.1 and multiply that by $16, which comes out to $49.60.
