<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

Lelechka [254]

Answer:

9.09

Step-by-step explanation:

x=speed of boat

y=speed of water current

Downstream relative speed = x+y

Upstream relative speed = x-y

Distance remains the same for both upstream and downstream.

a) Distance travelled downstream = speed x time = 3(x+y)

Distance travelled upstream = speed x time = 3.6(x-y)

b) Since both distances are equal, we can write

3(x+y)= 3.6(x-y)

3x+3y = 3.6x-3.6y

6.6y = 0,6x

x=11y: y=x/11

c) Water current has speed as 1/11 times of that of boat

In percent this equals 100/11 = 9.09%

Jessica is shopping for a new car. She found a blue car that has a 12-gallon gas tank and can go 384 miles on one tank. She foun
adelina 88 [10]

Answer:

Silver car

Step-by-step explanation:

It seems pretty hard but it's actually REALLY easy. gas mileage means the number of miles you can go on a particular amount of gallons. But the gallons have to be the same for both cars so that it's fair.

so let's go with 10 gallons. pretty broad number right?

so to get 12 gallons(the gallons for the blue car) to 10, We divide it by 12 then multiply it by 10. Try it yourself, (12/12)*10=???

then we do that to 384 (the miles for the blue car)

(384/12)*10=320

so 320 is the mileage for the first car. Repeat the steps for the silver car!

(14/14)*10=10

so then: (504/14)*10= 360.

So which is bigger, 320 or 360?

360 is bigger, meaning it has better gas mileage.

Which of the following is the sum of all the odd integers between 5 and 102?
STALIN [3.7K]

Answer:

2601

Step-by-step explanation:

The integers between 5 and 102 are

7, 9, 11, 13, 15, 17,19, 21, 23, 25, 27, 29, 31, 33, 35, 37, 39, 41, 43, 45, 47, 49, 51, 53, 55, 57, 59, 61, 63, 65, 67, 69, 71, 73, 75, 77, 79, 81, 83, 85, 87, 89, 91, 93, 95, 97, 99, 101

The sum of the odd intergers between 2 and 105 can be calculated as follows

= (N + 1/2)^2

= (101 + 1 /2) ^2

= (102/2)^2

= 51^2

= 2601

Hence the sum of the odd intergers between 5 and 102 is 2601
