Let the bigger and smaller number be x and y, respectively. The equations that best represent the given conditions for the numbers are,
                                      x + 2y = 62
                                       3x = y + 116
The value of x and y from the equation is 42 and 10. Thus, the bigger number is 42 and the smaller number is 10.

What are the length and width of a rectangle if the length exceeds the width by 55 inches and the perimeter is 270 ​inches?
astra-53 [7]
Here, P = 2L + 2W, and L=W+55.  Subbing W+55 for L in P = 2L + 2W, we get:

P = 2(W+55) + 2W = 270 in
      2W + 110 + 2W = 270 in, or 4W = 160 in.  Then W=40 in, and L=(40+55)in.

Aisha and jordan start by making a floor plan for their treehouWhich revision of these two sentences best shows that the coach b
irina1246 [14]

Answer: Statements 1 and 2 shows that the coach blowing the whistle happened first.

Step-by-step explanation: The coach blowing the whistle as the first event can be seen only from statements 1 and 2 only.

From statement 1, "the referee blew the whistle" was followed by "the team ran onto the field."

From statement 2, "before the team ran onto the field" shows clearly that one event took place "BEFORE" the one being reported and the one that occurred before this one was "the referee blew the whistle."

Statement 3 which is "the referee blew the whistle, BUT..." indicates that the whistle was meant to prevent the team from from running onto the field. So if the referee blew the whistle, but the team ran onto the field, it means the whistle blowing was not supposed to make them run onto the field.

Statement 4, which states that "the referee blew the whistle BECAUSE the team ran onto the field" indicates that, the reason for blowing the whistle was because the team ran onto the field which clearly shows that the team ran onto the field first before the referee blew the whistle.

Statement 5, "WHILE the team ran onto the field..." clearly shows that both events took place at the same moment, and so the referee blowing the whistle could not have occurred first.

Sedbober [7]
So if the bag contains half as many red marbles as blue ones, and there are 8 reds then there are 16 blues. 16 + 8= 24 if you want there to be 1/4 white marbles add 6. 6/30 is 1/4.

So the answer comes out to be 30 marbles in the bag

PLEASE HELP!!!!!
klemol [59]
The state withholding is 21% of the Federal withholding.
Since the state withholding was $122.25, the state withholding should be 0.21 x  $122.25 = $25.67

Since $30.56 was withheld for state tax, then she must be thinking that the state withholding is too high, hence too much is being withheld.

Thus, option c is the correct answer.
