Answer:

x= -2/5 and y=13/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets assume that the larger number = x

And the smaller number = y

According to the given statement three times a number added twice a smaller number is 4, it means;

3x+2y=4 -------- equation 1

Now further twice the smaller number less than twice the larger number is 6,it means;

2y-2x=6 --------equation 2

Solve the equation 2.

2y=2x+6

y=2x+6/2

y=2(x+3)/2

y=x+3

Substitute the value of y=x+3 in the first equation.

3x+2y=4

3x+2(x+3)=4

3x+2x+6=4

Combine the like terms:

5x=4-6

5x=-2

x= -2/5

Put the value x= -2/5 in equation 2.

2y-2x=6

2y-2(-2/5)=6

2y+4/5=6

By taking L.C.M we get

10y+4/5=6

10y+4=6*5

10y+4=30

10y=30-4

10y=26

y=26/10

y=13/5

Hence x= -2/5 and y=13/5....

There is one solution

Step-by-step explanation:

15x+11=8x

Subtract 15x from each side

15x-15x +11 = 8x-15x

11 = -7x

11/-7 = -7x/-7

-11/7 =x

The best arrangement can be

  • 3 rows and 4balls each row

So

  • Length of one row=1.8(4)=7.2cm
  • Width=1.8(3)=5.4cm
  • Height=1.8(2)=3.6cm

So

TSA

  • 2(LB+BH+LH)
  • 2(5.4(7.2)+(7.2)(3.6)+3.6(5.4))
  • 2(84.24)
  • 168.48cm²

Total cost

  • 168.48(0.01)
  • 1.685€
