Let
x---------> the larger number
y---------> the smaller number
we know that
x+y=148------> equation 1
x=3y-2------> equation 2
substitute 2 in 1
[3y-2]+y=148--------> 4y=150---------> y=150/4------> y=37.5
x=3y-2----> x=3*37.5-2-----> x=110.5
the answer is
the larger number is 110.5
the smaller number is 37.5
26. 4 people went to the aquarium
27. $1.50 per game (subtraction property and division property)
Answer: 2 units left and 3 units up
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
4x - 3 = 25
+ 3 + 3
4x = 28
x = 7
<em>1st = add like terms</em>
<em>2nd = simplify</em>
<em>3rd = divide both sides</em>
<em></em>
Hope this helps
