Answer:
The larger number is 60
The smaller number is 14

Explanation:
Assume that the larger number is x and that the smaller number id y.

We are given that:
1- The sum of the two numbers is 74. This means that:
x + y = 74
This equation can be rewritten as:
x = 74 - y .............> I
2- Four times the smaller number (4y) subtracted from the larger number (x), the result would be 4. This means that:
x - 4y = 4 ..............> II

Substitute with I in II and solve for y as follows:
x - 4y = 4
74 - y - 4y = 4
74 - 5y = 4
5y = 70
y = 70/5
y = 14

Substitute with the value of y in equation I to get x as follows:
x = 74 - y
x = 74 - 14
x = 60

Hope this helps :)

Let x represent the smaller number. Then the larger number is 4x+4, and their total is
.. x +(4x+4) = 74
.. 5x = 70 . . . . . . . subtract 4
.. x = 14 . . . . . . . . . divide by 5
.. 4x +4 = 4*14+4 = 60 . . . . . substitute into the expression for the larger number

The larger number is 60.
The smaller number is 14.

david ran on a straight track. every time he ran 480m, he took a break. After 2 breaks, he still had to run 120 m to complete th
kipiarov [429]

Answer:

The distance of the playground is 540m

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we are interested in calculating the length of the playground given the information in the question.

Where to attack the question from is the segment that states that he took a break after 480m and also had 2 breaks. Thus, the distance traveled would be 480 * 2 = 960 m

Now, to find the length of the track, we add the distance covered plus the distance uncovered. Mathematically that would be 960m + 120m = 1,080m

In the last part of the question, we are told that the track is twice as long as the playground. This means that the length of the playground or the distance of the playground is 1080/2 = 540 m
