If you interpret the question as is, the answer is in the thousands, which is not listed. The last part of the question should read 'the number of new cases doubled from those newly identified cases from the day prior. The question is very poorly phrased.

Day 1 : 5
Day 2: 5 + 10
Day 3: 15 + 20
Day 4: 35 + 40
Day 5: 75 + 80
Day 6: 155 + 160

Which is 315 at the end of 6th day

One number is larger than another by 9. If the greater number is increased by 10, and the lesser number is tripled, the sum of t
kkurt [141]

Answer:

The larger number is -6, the smaller number is -15

Step-by-step explanation:

We have two numbers, a and b.

We know that one number is larger than another by 9.

Then we can write:

a = b + 9

then a is larger than b by 9 units.

If the greater number is increased by 10 (a + 10) and the lesser number is tripled (3*b), the sum of the two would be -41:

(a + 10) + 3*b = -41

So we got two equations:

a = b + 9

(a + 10) + 3*b = -41

This is a system of equations.

One way to solve this is first isolate one variable in one of the two equations:

But we can see that the variable "a" is already isolated in the first equation, so we have:

a = b + 9

now we can replace that in the other equation:

(a + 10) + 3*b = -41

(b + 9) + 10 + 3*b = -41

now we can solve this for b.

9 + b + 10 + 3b = -41

(9 + 10) + (3b + b) = -41

19 + 4b = -41

4b = -41 -19 = -60

b = -60/4 = -15

b = -15

then:

a = b + 9

a = -15 + 9 = -6

a = -6
