<em><u>Question:</u></em>

The difference of two numbers is nine if the larger number is one more than twice the smaller number find a larger number

<em><u>Answer:</u></em>

<em><u>The larger number is 17</u></em>

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Let the smaller number be "a"

Let the larger number be "b"

The difference of two numbers is nine

Therefore,

b - a = 9 ------ eqn 1

larger number is one more than twice the smaller number

Therefore,

b = 1 + 2a ----- eqn 2

Substitute eqn 2 in eqn 1

1 + 2a - a = 9

<h3>a = 8</h3>

Substitute a = 8 in eqn 1

b - 8 = 9

b = 9 + 8

<h3>b = 17</h3>

Thus the larger number is 17

Given that the sales made are 4,567 ,5430, 3998, 5,220,and 4,906

the average is (4567+5430+3998+5220+4906)/5

=24121/5

=4824.2

in the month of august let the sales be x

average= (4567+5430+3998+5220+4906+x)/6

the average for march to july is 4824.2

4824.2= (4567+5430+3998+5220+4906+x)/6

24121+x=4824.2*6

24121+x=28945.2

x=28945.2-24121

x=4824.2

approximately 4824 games
