Let the two numbers be x and y
Then
x + y = 60
And
x - y = 2
x = y + 2
Putting the value of x in the first equation we get
x + y = 60
y + 2 + y= 60
2y + 2 = 60
2y = 60 - 2
2y = 58
y = 58/2
y = 29
Now putting the value of y in the first equation we get
x + y = 60
x + 29 = 60
x = 60 - 29
x = 31
So the value of the two numbers comes out to be 31 and 29. I hope the procedure is clear enough for you to understand.

31 and 29 because 31 plus 29 is 60 and 31 minus 29 is 2

In planning her retirement, Liza deposits some money at 2% interest, twice as much deposited at 2.5%. What is the amount deposit

harkovskaia [24]

She deposited two amounts, let's say "a" and "b"
"a" earning 2% interest
"b" earning 2.5% interest

the 2.5% one, is twice as much as the 2% one
so.. one can say that, whatever "a" is, "b" is twice as much,
or b = 2*a -> b = 2a

now.. .the sum of both earned interest, was $1190

so.. one can say that (2% of a) + (2.5% of b) = 1190
let' us use the decimal notation then
$\frac{2}{100}a+\frac{2.5}{100}b=1190\implies 0.02a+0.025b=1190
\\ \quad \\
\textit{however, we know "b" is 2a thus}
\\ \quad \\
0.02a+0.025\boxed{b}=1190\implies 0.02a+0.025(\boxed{2a})=1190$

solve for "a" to find what the "a" amount is,
to find "b", well, "b" is "2a", so just do a 2*a to get "b"

zimovet [89]

The total fabric used for headband and wristband of a player was: 27.84 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The question will be solved step by step.

So,

Total ribbon used for headbands = 883.68 inches

Total number of people for whom headbands were made = 46 players + 2 coaches = 48 inches

so the headband for one person will use fabric: $\frac{883.68}{48}\\= 18.41\ inches$

Then

Total fabric used for wristbands = 433.78 inches

Total players = 46

$Fabri\ for\ one\ player's\ wristband = \frac{433.78}{46}\\=9.43\ inches$

Total fabric for one player = 18.41 + 9.43 = 27.84 inches

Hence,

The total fabric used for headband and wristband of a player was: 27.84 inches
