Hey there! :D

21= 2x-6+x

21=3x-6

27=3x

x=9

The smaller number is 9. 

The larger number is:

9*2= 18 18-6= 12

The larger number is 12. 

I hope this helps!

Justin travels at 70 km/h on his motorcycle. If the speed limit is 50 mi./hr., is he speeding? Why or why not?
balu736 [363]

Answer:

Justin is <em>not </em>speeding because there is 1.609 km in a mile. So if you compare it to 70 km/h to 50 mi/h it would 70 km and 43.50 miles per hour. So like I said, no he is not because he is going below 50 mi/h.
