Answer:
tha answer to the question is B. 2
Answer:
Larger number(x)=20
Step-by-step explanation:
They're saying that the larger number 3 times is EQUAL(the same) to 4 times the smaller number.
The smallest number=35-x.
The larger number= x.
3 times the larger number=3x
4 times the smaller number=4(35-x)
Now, input it into an equation and solve:
3x=4(35-x) Distribute by multiplying 4 with 35 and x.
3x+4x=140-4x+4x Get 140 by itself by adding 4x.
7x/7=140/7 Divide.
x=20
Since x= the larger number, x=20.
Yes; you are correct.

Note: (a </span>− b) (c − d + e) = ac − ad + ae − bc + bd − be ;

(x − 4) (x² <span>− 5x + 3) =
x * x</span>² = x³ <span>−
x * 5x = 5x</span>² +
x * 3 = 3x <span>−
4 * x</span>² = 4x² <span>−
-4 * 5x = -20x +
-4 * 3 = -12;

</span> (x − 4) (x² − 5x + 3) =
x³ − 5x² + 3x −4x² − (-20x) + (-12) ;
= x³ − 5x² + 3x −4x² + 20x − 12 ;
= x³ − 5x² − 4x² + 3x + 20x − 12 ;
= x³ − 9x² + 23x − 12 ; which is:

This is indeed a linear equation. y-4x=9 in standard form is y=4x+9.
Looking at the question. you'll know that it's a subtraction question so that eliminates C and D. Now look at A and B. It says that 33 stamps were used. So that means the answer is not a negative expression. (B) Is Eliminated.
