Let the two numbers be x and y.
Let m = the fraction (or percentage) for increasing the numbers.
Increase x by 5, multiply (x+5) by (1+m), and set it qual to 36.
(x + 5)*(1 + m) = 36
Increase y by 5, multiply (y+5) by (1+m), and set it equal to 36.
(y+5)*(1+m) = 36
Therefore
(x+5)*(1+m) = (y+5)*(1+m)
x + 5 = y + 5
x = y
x - y = 0
Answer: 0.
The difference between the two numbers is zero.
The answer is twelve because to Make the two fractions denominators equal you have to multiply the numerator and denominator by 4 to get the denominators equal which gets you a fraction of 12/16 and if you divide that by 1/16 because that is how long each lap is then you get 16 which is the amount of laps they swam
<span>2x-1/4(12x+4)=3
</span>⇒ 2x -1/4*(12x) -1/4*4= 3 (distributive property)
⇒ 2x -3x -1= 3
⇒ -x= 3+1
⇒ -x= 4
⇒ x= -4

Final answer: x=-4~

It is b because if thats your numbers and u divide weight by inches and times it by the diameter you get your answer
