Complete question:

The average of two number is 55. If 2 is subtracted from the greater number, the ratio between the numbers become 1:2 . The smaller number is

Answer:

The smaller number is 36

Explanation:

let the smaller number = x

let the greater number = y

\frac{x + y}{2} = 55\\\\

x + y = 110

y = 110 - x --------- equation (i)

\frac{x}{y-2} = \frac{1}{2}\\\\ y-2 = 2x\\\\y = 2x + 2 ------equation(ii)

Substitute y in equation (ii)

110 - x = 2x + 2

110 - 2 = 2x + x

108 = 3x

x = 108 / 3

x = 36

Therefore, the smaller number is 36

What is the main reason the Earth is warmer at the equator than at the North and South Poles?
gogolik [260]
The poles receive more direct sunshine so it has to do with the angle that the light hits. The Earth is round and when light hits it the light wraps around the earth. At the poles the light is very stretched and at the equator it is very direct hence it is hotter at the poles.
