The value of the first number is 9 , and

the value of the second number is 8 .

In the question ,

statements about two numbers is given ,

let the first number be x ,

let the second number be y .

According to the first statement " One number is one more than a second number "

translating it into the equation form , we get

x=y+1      ...(i)

According to the second statement which states " Five times the first is 3 less than 6 times the second "

translating it into the equation form , we get

5*x = 6*y - 3

5x = 6y - 3

Substituting the value of x from equation (i) , we get

5(y+1) = 6y - 3

5y + 5 = 6y - 3

6y-5y = 5+3

y = 8 ,

substituting  y=8 in the the equation (i) ,

x = 8 + 1

x = 9

hence the first number = 9  and the second number = 8 .

Therefore , the value of the first number is  9, and

the value of the second number is 8 .

It took 3.5 hours for an airplane traveling at a constant speed of 550 miles per hour to reach its destination. What distance di
Nata [24]
The formula that we want to use here is S = D/T.

S = Speed
D = Distance
T = Time

So, we know that S = 550 and T = 3.5, so we can plug them in. 

We get 550 = D/3.5 
Multiply by 3.5 on each side, and you figure out that the plane has traveled 1925 miles.
