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.

A) Divide and compare in decimal form -
9/25 = 0.36
4/6=2/7 = 1/4 = 0.25
0.6... > 0.25

B) Fraction to decimal conversion:
4/16 = 2/8 = 1/4 = 0.25

Use long decision or a calculator - 1 divided by four

C) Again, 9/25 = nine divided by twenty-five = 0.36

% Science class)

0.36 = 36%
Move decimal place to right twice and place “%” at the end.
