Answer:
comment the question I will try to solve it.....
Answer:
$1756
Step-by-step explanation:
1. More = Addition
2. Twice = Multiplication by 2
3. Tuition costs $100 more than twice room and board
Tuition = 2x + 100
$2584 = (2x + 100) + x
$2584 = 3x + 100
4. Subtract 100 on both sides: $2484 = 3x
5. Divide both sides by 3: $828 = x
6. Plug it in to the tuition equation: Tuition = 2(828) + 100
= $1756
Check Work: (828*2) + 100 = $1756
$1756 + 828 = $2584
The total is 275 because 100% divided by 20% is 5 and if 20%= 55 then that means that 55 goes into 100% 5 times so you multiply 55 by 5 to get 275. Hope I helped! Please rate me as the brainliest!
<u>Define x:</u>
Let one of the numbers be x.
The other number is x + 2
<u>Construct equation:</u>
<span>twice the smaller is 16 more than the larger
</span>⇒2x = x + 2 - 16
<u>Solve x:</u>
2x = x + 2 - 16
x = -14
<u>Find the two numbers:</u>
Smaller number = x = -14
Larger number = x + 2 = -12
Answer: The two numbers are -14 and -12
