Let x = big number
Let y = small number
x + y = 66...Equation A
2y = x + 15...Equation B
We have two equations in two unknowns.
x + x + 15 = 66
2x = 66 - 15
2x = 54
x = 54/2
x = 27
Plug x = 27 into EITHER equation above to find y.
I will use Equation A.
x + y = 66
27 + y = 66
y = 66 - 27
y = 39
The two numbers are 27 and 39.
Answer:
5:7
Step-by-step explanation:
A pet store has two types of betta fish which is red and blue
