Answer:

<u><em>The two numbers are 56 and 23.</em></u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the two numbers be A and B.

We are told that:

A+B = 79, and

2)  3A + 5B = 283

Rearrange the first expression to isolate A:

A = 79-B

Now use this value of B in the second expression:

3A + 5B = 283

3(79-B) + 5B = 283

237-3B + 5B = 283

2B = 46

B = 23

If B=23, we can find A from (1):  

A+B = 79

A+23 = 79

A = 56

<u>CHECK:</u>

Does A+B = 79?

56 + 23 = 79?  <u><em>YES</em></u>

Does 3A + 5B = 283?

  3(56) + 5(23) = 283?

 168 + 115 = 283?  <u><em>YES</em></u>

1. A-Tunes requires a membership fee of $12 a month and $1 for each download.
matrenka [14]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

After 16 downloads the charges will equal each other.

<h3>Step-by-step explanation:</h3>

First set up an equation

x = Downloads

12 + 1x = 5 + 1.5x

Solve

12 + 1x = 5 + 1.5x <- Rewrite your equation

-5          -5            <- Subtract 5 from both sides

 8 + 1x = 1.5x       <- Simplify

      -1x    -1x         <- Subtract 1 from both sides

        8 = 0.5x      <- Simplify

        8 = 1/2x       <- Convert 0.5 to a fraction to make the next step easier

       16 = x            <- Multiply both sides by 2 to divide by

                                 a fraction
