So... let's say, we have two numbers "a" and "b",
"a" is the smaller one, "b" is the larger one
so, their sum is 6
a + b = 6

3 times the smaller => 3 * a or 3a
now, two less than that
3a - 2

that equals the larger "b"

3a - 2 = b
\bf a+b=6
\\\\
\boxed{3a-2}=b\\\\
--------------\\
thus
\\\\
a+(\boxed{3a-2})=6  

solve for "a",

now, what's "b"?  well, 3a - 2 = b :)

Yuki888 [10]

Answer:

5 gallons of water must be added.

10 gallons to start with

adding 'x' gallons of water      final volume = 10 + x

.9 (10) = amount of vinegar

.1(10) = amount of water

amount of vinegar before and after water addition is constant

.9(10) = .6(10+x)  

9 = 6 + .6x

3 = .6x

x = 5 gallons of water to be added

NikAS [45]

Answer:

A college student took 4 courses last semester. His final grades, along with the credits each class is worth, are as follow: A (3), B (4), C (2), and D (3). The grading system assigns quality points as follows: A: 4; B: 3; C: 2; D: 1; and F: 0. Find the student’s GPA for this semester. Round your answer to the nearest thousandth.

another way is

This is a weighted average question. You are going to "weight" each course by the number of credits it is worth and then divide by the total number of credits. In other words, you are going to multiply each grade (A=4, B=3) by the number of credits attached to that grade. This will ensure that the courses that have more credits count more in the overall average. Then you are going to divide by the total number of credits to get the overall GPA.

So,

(3*4 + 4*3 + 2 *2 + 3*1)/(3+4+2+3) = GPA
