20 because 19 16/33 is the exact answer. Since they ask about how much that can be rounded up to 20
Simplified, it"s y=-3/2x+22.5
Answer: The numbers are 10 and 23
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the smaller number be x
And the larger number be y
Ist sentence;
1. The sum of two numbers is 33.
X + y= 33 .........eqn 1
2. second sentence
the larger number is 3 more than two times the smaller number.
Y = 3 +2x
Put y into eqn 1
X+ 3 +2x = 33
3x= 33- 3
3x= 30
X = 30/3
X= 10 and y= 3+ 2x
Y= 3+ 2(10)
Y = 3+ 20
Y= 23
Therefore the two numbers are 10 and 23
1/3 oranges were spoiled.....u threw away 4 oranges...
1/3 of what = 4....
1/3x = 4
x = 4 * 3
x = 12 oranges
1/4 grapefruits were spoiled....u threw away 7
1/4 of what = 7
1/4x = 7
x = 7 * 4
x = 28
so ur fruit basket contained 12 oranges and 28 grapefruits before u discarded the spoiled ones
