--------------------------------------------
Define x and y :
--------------------------------------------
Let one number be x.
Let the other number be y.

--------------------------------------------
Construct equation :
--------------------------------------------
x + y = 24
x ÷ y = 3

--------------------------------------------
Solve for x and y :
--------------------------------------------
x + y = 24 ------------------- (1)
x ÷ y = 3 --------------------- (2)

--------------------------------------------
From equation 1 :
--------------------------------------------
x + y = 24
x = 24 - y 

--------------------------------------------
Sub x = 24 - y into 2 :
--------------------------------------------
x ÷ y = 3               // Equation 2
(24 - y) ÷ y = 3      // Sub x = 24
24 - y = 3y            // Multiply by y on both sides
24 = 4y                 // Add y to both sides
4y = 24                 // Switch side, make y the subject
y = 6                     // Divide by 4 on both sides

--------------------------------------------
Sub y = 6 into equation 1 :
--------------------------------------------
x + y = 24            // Equation 1
x + 6 = 24            // sub y = 6
x = 18                  // Take away 6 from both sides

--------------------------------------------
Find the two numbers :
--------------------------------------------
One number = x = 18
The one number = y = 6

------------------------------------------------------------------
Answer: The two numbers are 18 and 6.

What value of X makes the equation true -7x - (-5-x) = -9(2x-1) -1
Bond [772]

Answer:

x = 1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

-7x - (-5-x) = -9(2x-1) -1

-7x + 5 + x = -18x + 9 - 1

combine like terms:

-6x + 5 = -18x + 8

add 18x to each side of the equation:

12x + 5 = 8

subtract 5 from each side:

12x = 3

divide both sides by 12:

x = 3/12 = 1/4

A box contains 4 red pencils and 6 black pencils. What fraction of he pencils are red? What fraction of pencils are black? Draw
Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer:

The fraction of the pencils that are red is 4/10. The fraction of the pencils that are black is 6/10.

Step-by-step explanation:

[I can't draw you a model but I reccomend that when you do, you seperate it into 10 pieces and mark 4 as red pencils and 6 as black pencils. You could also simplify 4/10 to 2/5 and 6/10 to 3/5, but instead you'd seperate the model into 5 pieces and mark 2 as red pencils and 3 as black pencils.]

First, let's add this up so we have our denominator.

4 + 6 = 10.

Now that we know that the denominator is 10, we apply it to the question.

<em>The box has 4/10 red pencils and 6/10 black pencils.</em>

<em>The box has 4/10 red pencils and 6/10 black pencils.If you were to simplify, it'd be 2/5 red pencils and 3/5 black pencils.</em>
