X = larger number and y = smaller number

x + y = 153....x = 153 - y
x - 4y = 18

153 - y - 4y = 18
153 - 5y = 18
-5y = 18 - 153
-5y = -135
y = -135/-5
y = 27 <=== smaller number

x - 4y = 18
x - 4(27) = 18
x - 108 = 18
x = 18 + 108
x = 126 <== larger number

The average number of students per class at a middle school
Tasya [4]

Answer:

s = 22t or \frac{t}{s} = \frac{1}{22}, when s is students and t is teachers.

Step-by-step explanation:

I. Given t = teacher, s = student

When 1 teacher per 22 students so...

        s = 22t

If there're 10 teachers

        s = 22(10)

           = 220 or \frac{t}{s} = \frac{1}{22}

Hope that help :)

Henry ran five races, each of which was a different positive integer number of
dolphi86 [110]

Answer:

10 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of miles on Henry's longest race.

We have been given that Henry ran five races, each of which was a different positive integer number of  miles.

We can set an equation for the average of races as:

\frac{\text{The sum distances of 5 races}}{5}=4

As distance covered in each race is a different positive integer, so let his first four races be 1, 2, 3, 4.

Now let us substitute the distances of 5 races as:

\frac{1+2+3+4+x}{5}=4

\frac{10+x}{5}=4

Let us multiply both sides of our equation by 5.

\frac{10+x}{5}*5=4*5

10+x=20

Let us subtract 10 from both sides of our equation.

10-10+x=20-10

x=10

Therefore, the maximum possible distance of Henry's longest race is 10 miles.
