Answer:
The smaller Number = 15
The larger number = 67
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
The smaller number = x
The larger number = 5x - 8
The sum = 82
(5x - 8) + x = 82
5x - 8 + x = 82
6x - 8 = 82
Add eight to both sides
6x - 8 + 8 = 82 + 8
6x = 90
Divide both sides by 6
x = 90/6
= 15
Therefore,
The smaller number = x = 15
The larger number = 5x - 8
= 5(15) - 8
= 75 - 8
= 67
First, always draw. You learned to draw in kindergarben (Yes I spelled it like that on purpose LOL) for a reason.
1) Draw your rectangle on a piece of paper or paint.
2) Scale factor each side to enlarge which means you're going to multiply.
--- Note if it said 'to reduce' then you would divide.
3) Then find the area by multiplying the two given sides (12 x 6 = 72).
4) Don't forget your unit of measurement - 72ft²
So your answer is D.
Ok , with that information we can write the equations
x + y = 6
5x + 4y = 28
Where x = how many people ordered chicken
and y = how many people ordered egg salad
Through elimination , we can set one of the variables in both equations equal so we can eliminate it :
(4)x + (4)y = (4)6
5x + 4y = 28
4x + 4y = 24. equation 1
5x + 4y = 28. equation 2
Now we can subtract the second equation by the first equation and isolate one variable:
equation 2 - equation 1
5x - 4x + 4y - 4y = 28 - 24
x = 4
Now that we discovered our x value ( How many people ordered chicken salad ) , we can apply it to one of the equations and discover y ( how many people ordered egg salad)
x + y = 6
x= 4
4 + y = 6
We can shift 4 to the other side of the equation by subtracting 4 from both sides of the equation:
4 - 4 + y = 6 - 4
y = 2
x=4 and y=2
So the awnser is :
4 people ordered chicken salad and 2 people ordered egg salad!
I hope you understood my brief explanation!!
p.s if you want to know how to use another method to solve these problems ( Substition) , just let me know in a comentary down here
Equation is y=kx. We have four chance to figure out k; hopefully they all give the same result
x=9, y=63, y=kx becomes 63=k(9) so k=63/9=7
x=4, y=28, 28=k(4), k=7
The constant of proportionality is 7; we check 2×7=14, 11×7=77
Answer: k=7, y=7x
