Answer:
x = 12 , y = 10
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x , y are two numbers.
x > y
1 ) Three times the greater is 18 times their
difference
3x = 18( x - y )
x = 6( x - y )
x = 6x - 6y
6y = 5x
y = 5x/6 ——-( 1 )
2 ) 4 times the smaller is 4 less than twice
the sum of the two
4y + 4 = 2 ( x + y )
2y + 2 = x + y
y = x -2 ——( 2 )
From ( 1 ) and ( 2 ) ,
5x/6 = x -2
( 5x /6 ) - x = -2
( 5x - 6x ) /6 = -2
-x = -12
x = 12
Put x = 12 in equation ( 2 ) , we get
y = 12 - 2
y = 10
Therefore ,
x = 12 , y = 10
The answer is

.
Explanation:
In order to subtract the fractions, we must make them like fractions. To do this, the denominators must be the same by multiplying (only). Since the first fraction is

, 3 can be multiplied by 2 to get 6, which is the other fraction, we can multiply it. Whatever you do to the denominator you must do to the numerator. Now multiply 2 by the numerator (10) to get

. Now we can subtract the fractions

and

to get 13/6. Since this fraction is not in mixed fraction form yet, we must do that first. goes into 13 twice, so the whole number is 2 and there is still 1 left, making the fraction

. Therefore, the difference is 2

Answer: 5</h3>
=================================
Explanation:
Apply the difference of squares rule
x^2 - y^2 = (x-y)(x+y)
x^2 - y^2 = (5)(1)
x^2 - y^2 = 5
----------
Alternatively, you can solve the system
for x and y to get (x,y) = (3,-2).
Then compute x^2-y^2 = 3^2-(-2)^2 = 9-4 = 5
46/8=5.75
Round up to 6, since you can't buy 3/4 of a pack of cookies.
The answer is 6 packs of cookies.
Hope this helps :)
