First let that number be y.
List the equation by the given info.
y x 112/100 = 56
Shift y to the other side by turning it to ÷y.
112/100 = 56/y
Use cross method,
100 x 56 = 112y
5600 = 112y
y = 50
Therefore that number is 50
I think it’s q12 or C hope this helped
B. Y equals 0, because if you plug it in ( multiply 2 by 9 ) you will get 18-18 which equals 0.
Hello from MrBillDoesMath
Answer: 12, 9
Discussion:
Let x be the first number and y the second number. The form the problem statement:
x + y = 21
x - y = 3
Add the two equations. This gives:
(x + x ) + ( y-y) = 21 + 3 =>
2x + 0 = 24 =>
x = 12
Since x -y =3, substituting in the value of x gives, 12 - y = 3 so y = 9
Thank you,
Mr. B
