It would be $6.99. All you have to do is divide the total (34.95) by pounds of coffee (5). 34.95 / 5 will give you 6.99! You can check this by doing 6.99 * 5, which would again give you 34.95. Contact me if you need any more help. :^)
Let's call the two numbers
and
.
Given these variables, we can say:
, based on the first sentence in the problem.
Also, remember that the reciprocal of a number is simply 1 divided by the number. Thus, we can say that:

To solve, we can simply substitute
in for
in the second equation and solve.


- Get terms on the left side to a common denominator for easier addition


- Cross multiplication (
)


- Subtract
from both sides of the equation

- Factor left side of the equation

Now, notice that we have found two solutions, but the problem is only asking for one. This <em>likely </em>means that one of our solutions is extraneous. Let's take a look. Remember that the smaller positive number is equal to 14 less than the larger number. However,
,
Since
is not positive in this case,
is not a solution.
Thus,
is our only solution. In this case,
,
which means that the smaller number is 14 and the larger number is 28.

Short Answer 28
If I'm reading this correctly it is 28.
2 is a prime number.
7 is also a prime
They are multiplied together to give 2*7 = 14
When you divide 28/14 you get 2 which is the smallest prime.
