<span>Let x=smaller number
Then x+5=larger number
Now we are told the following:
1/5(x+x+5)=x-5 multiply each side by 5
x+x+5=5x-25 subtract 5x and also 5 from both sides
x+x+5-5-5x=5x-5x-25-5 collect like terms
</span><span>-3x=-30 divide both sides by -3
x=10 smaller number
x+5=10+5=15 larger number

1/5(10+15)=10-5
1/5(25)=10-5
5=5 </span>
Answer:
a = 3
b = 2
c = 0
d = -4
Step-by-step explanation:
Form 4 equations and solve simultaneously
28 = a(2)³ + b(2)² + c(2) + d
28 = 8a + 4b + 2c + d (1)
-5 = -a + b - c + d (2)
220 = 64a + 16b + 4c + d (3)
-20 = -8a + 4b - 2c + d (4)
(1) + (4)
28 = 8a + 4b + 2c + d
-20 = -8a + 4b - 2c + d
8 = 8b + 2d
d = 4 - 4b
Equation (2)
c = -a + b + d + 5
c = -a + b + 4 - 4b+ 5
c = -a - 3b + 9
28 = 8a + 4b + 2c + d (1)
28 = 8a + 4b + 2(-a - 3b + 9) + 4 - 4b
28 = 6a - 6b + 22
6a - 6b = 6
a - b = 1
a = b + 1
220 = 64a + 16b + 4c + d (3)
220 = 64(b + 1) + 16b + 4(-b - 1 - 3b + 9) + 4 - 4b
220 = 60b + 100
60b = 120
b = 2
a = 2 + 1
a = 3
c = -3 - 3(2) + 9
c = 0
d = 4 - 4(2)
d = -4
Answer:
<em>There are 72 crayons in the box</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Fractions</u>
To solve this problem we'll manage numbers as fractions to keep the precision up to the end of it.
Lynn has a box of crayons. It's given 4/9 of the crayons are blue. The remaining crayons are:
From that portion, 65% are red, or equivalently, 35% are yellow.
We write 35% as a fraction:
Thus, the portion of yellow crayons is:
This fraction of x crayons is equal to 14, thus:
x = 72

Answer:
It will take 3.2 hours for 8 inches of snow to fall.
Step-by-step explanation:
You can solve this be going "backwards".
You have 2.5 inches of snow falling per hour for x hours until you get 8 inches of snow, which can be represented like this:
2.5x=8 From here you being to solve by isolating x on one side of the equation. You would divide both sides by 2.5 to do this
2.5x=8
/2.5 /2.5
8 divided by 2.5 is 3.2 and you then get
x=3.2
It takes 3.2 hours for 8 inches of snow to fall
