A + b = 70
a = 2/5b

2/5b + b = 70
2/5b + 5/5b = 70
7/5b = 70
b = 70 * 5/7
b = 350/7
b = 50

a = 2/5b
a = 2/5(50)
a = 100/5
a = 20

the numbers are 50 and 20....the smallest being 20 and the largest being 50

X + 2/5x = 70
1x + 2/5x = 70
1 2/5 x = 70
7/5 x = 70  multiply both sides by 5
7x = 350  divide both sides by 7
x = 50    so 2/5 x = 20    the two numbers are 50 and 20
the larger of the two is 50

The sum of three consecutive odd integers is-219. What is the first number in the set?
Alex73 [517]

Answer:

-75

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us consider the first  odd number to be 'x'.

Thus:

  1. 1st odd number: x
  2. 2nd odd number: x+2
  3. 3rd odd number: x+3

According to the question, the sum of these three consecutive ODD numbers should be equal to -219

So,

x + x + 2 + x + 4 = -219

3x + 6 = -219

3x = -225

x = -75

Find the solution to the system of equations x + y = 9 and x - y = -1.
Galina-37 [17]

Answer:

(4, 5 )

Step-by-step explanation:

x + y = 9 → (1)

x - y = - 1 → (2)

adding the 2 equations term by term will eliminate y

2x + 0 = 8

2x = 8 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = 4

substitute x = 4 into either of the 2 equations and solve for y

substituting into (1)

4 + y = 9 ( subtract 4 from both sides )

y = 5

solution is (4, 5 )
