Answer:

(3x - 8) pounds of gravel was used to cover the bottom of sinks, where x is the weight of bag of gravel.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

In order to answer this question we need to make the following assumption

Let x pound be the weight of one bag of gravel.

Total number of bags of gravel bought by Kevin = 3

Weight of 3 bags of gravel = 3x pounds

Amount of gravel left after pouring = 8 pounds

Amount of gravel used to cover the bottom of sink =

Formula:

\text{Amount of gravel used to cover the bottom of sink} = \\\text{Amount of gravel bought} - \text{Amount of gravel left}\\= 3x -8

Thus, (3x - 8) pounds of gravel was used to cover the bottom of sinks.

The sum of two numbers is 100, the difference between the two numbers is 26. What is the number that is less?
Zepler [3.9K]
The numbers that would be smaller would be the two with the difference of 26.
27-1=26 where as, if you were to use a 1 in each, 99+1= 100. Therefore 27 and 1 (28) is less than 99 and 1 (100).
