X+y=70
x=2y-5
x=larger number
y=smaller number
now plug in the value of x to only have one variable in the equation...
Way to solve for y:
(2y-5)+y=70
3y-5=70
add 5 on both sides...
3y=75
divide by 3 on both sides
y=25
1st way to solve for x:
now plug in y in the original equation...
x+25=70
subtract 25 on both sides...
x=45
2nd way to solve for x:
plug in y for the second equation...
x=25(2)-5
x=50-5
x=45
answer: the two numbers are 45 and 25.

*16. A family rents a van for $20 per day plus $120 deposit. They paid a total
andrew-mc [135]
I think it’s 12, if you take $360 and subtract the $120 deposit you get 240 and i divided that by 20 to get 12.

(-9)-[15divided by 5]^3•6
Aleks04 [339]

Answer:

-171

Step-by-step explanation:

Applying PEMDAS (order of operations),

We open the parenthesis first;

-9 - (\frac{15}{5})³ × 6

-9 - 3³ × 6

We work on multiplication next;

-9 - 27 × 6 = -9 - 162

finally we do subtraction to get;

-9 - 162 = -171
