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

Elza [17]
Oldest to youngest- D, A, E, B, C
It's called relative dating, you basically find the rocks that are at the very bottom (oldest), look for the ones that are on the top (younger), but if you find any that are cross cutting, those are the youngest of them all.

If sun lost all its energy what would happen to earth and its inhabitants
Korvikt [17]
If you put a steamy cup if coffee in refrigerator, it wouldn't immediately turn cold. Likewise, if the sun simply turned off , the earth would stay warm - at least compared with the space surrounding it - for a few million years. But we surface dwellers would feel the chill much sooner than that.within a week, the average global surface temperature would drop below 0degree F. In a year, it would dip to -100degrees. The top layers of oceans would freeze over
Although some microorganisms living in the earths crust would survive, photosynthesis would halt immediately, and most plants would die in few weeks , and animals who eats plants would die off quickly
