L-s=16
4s-5=l
4s-l=5
3s=21
s=7
l-7=16
l=16+7
l=23
The smaller number is 7 and the greater number is 23
Answer:
yes it look right like the one you have to do 2x+5=39
Lets find out...
our fraction is 1/2.....
when the numerator is increased by 20%......1 + 0.20(1) = 1.2
when the denominator is increased by 50%....2 + 0.50(2) = 3
1/2 = 0.5....original fraction
1.2 / 3 = 0.4.....increased fraction
decrease = (original number - new number) / original number...* 100
= (0.5 - 0.4) / 0.5...* 100
= (0.1 / 0.5)....* 100
= 0.2 * 100
= 20% decrease <====
Answer: 10 miles.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let m the number of miles that each dog is walked.
It is given that Beth does not charge a registration fee for her dog-walking service, but she charges $5 per mile that each dog is walked.
Amount charged by Beth = 5m
Tonya’s dog-walking service charges a registration fee of $20, plus $3 per mile that each dog is walked.
Amount charged by Tonya = 20+3m
We need to find the number of miles m for which Tonya and Beth would charge the same amount.



Divide both sides by 2.

Therefore, for 10 miles Tonya and Beth would charge the same amount.
