<h3><u>The value of the larger number, x, is 57.</u></h3><h3><u>The value of the smaller number, y, is equal to 42.</u></h3>
x - y = 15
2x + 8 = 3y - 4
We can quickly get a temporary value for x by altering the original equation.
x - y = 15
<em><u>Add y to both sides.</u></em>
x = 15 + y
Now that we have a value of x, we can find the exact value of y.
2(15 + y) + 8 = 3y - 4
<em><u>Distributive property.</u></em>
30 + 2y + 8 = 3y - 4
<em><u>Combine like terms.</u></em>
38 + 2y = 3y - 4
<em><u>Subtract 2y from both sides.</u></em>
38 = y - 4
<em><u>Add 4 to both sides.</u></em>
y = 42
Now that we know the exact value of y, we can plug it back into the original equation.
x - 42 = 15
<em><u>Add 42 to both sides.</u></em>
x = 57
Answer:8
Step-by-step explanation: it cannot be 2, 6, or 5 because they are all less than 7.
I would say the amount used would be at least 50 gallons because it makes most sense. Hope I helped :))
2 times 2^30 simple means
that = (2^1) x (2^30)
<span>In multiplying numbers of the same base (in this case 2), the
exponents are just added, therefore giving us:
</span>
(2^1) x (2^30) = (2^31)
Answer:
<span>2 to the 31 power</span>
