X and y are the numbers
x>y

diffference is 42
x-y=42

larger is 3 less than 6 times smaller
x=-3+6y

subsitute -3+6y for x

x-y=42
-3+6y-y=42
-3+5y=42
add3 to both sides
5y=45
divide both sides by 5
y=9

sub back

x=-3+6y
x=-3+6(9)
x=-3+54
x=51

the numbers are 51 and 9

If <br> A = 6<br> B = 9<br> C = 15<br><br> Then what is D equal to?
Semmy [17]
A = 6
B = 9
C = 15
D = ?

From A to B, 6 + 3 = 9
From B to C, 9 + 6 = 15
From C to D, 9 + x = ?

The first time, you added 3, for the second time, you added three to the three you are adding, making it 6. So for x, x = 6 + 3, which = 9

9 + 9 = 18

D = 18 should be your answer

hope this helps

During first semester the ratio of the number of students in art class to the number of students in gym class was 2:7. However t
elena-s [515]
5/4 = 75/g....cross multiply because this is a proportion
5g = 300
g = 300/5
g = 60
so in 2nd semester, there were 75 students in art class and 60 students in gym class....for a total of 135 students.

1st semester....ratio was 2:7...added = 9
art : 2/9(135) = 270/9 = 30 <=== art class had 30
gym: 7/9(135) = 945/9 = 105 <=== gym class had 105

Which is a better deal on a $10 item:
liberstina [14]
50% off. You only have to pay $5. If you do 10% off one time you have to pay $9 and then the next time you get 40% off, you’d have to pay $6.

Unless I completely misunderstood, 50% should be better. If it’s 40% off + 10% then it will be 50% and therefore both of them are equal deals and both good.
