The numbers are:  36 and 11 .
______________________________________________
Explanation:
______________________________________________
Let us represent the TWO (2) numbers with the variables;
         "x" and "y" .
__________________________________________
     x + y = 47 .

     y − x = 25.
__________________________________________
Since:  " y − x = 25 " ;

Solve for "y" in terms of "x" ;

  y − x = 25  ;

Add "x" to each side of the equation:
_____________________________________________
   y − x + x  = 25 + x  ;

to get:

   y = 25 + x .

Now, since:

  x + y = 47 ;

Plug in "(25 + x)" as a substitution for "y"; to solve for "x" :

x + (25 + x) = 47  ;

x + 25 + x + 47 ;

2x + 25 = 47 ;

Subtract "25" from each side of the equation:

2x + 25 − 25 = 47 − 25 ;

2x  = 22  ;

Divide EACH SIDE of the equation by "2" ;
 to isolate "x" on one side of the equation; and to solve for "x" ; 
 
2x / 2 = 22 / 2 ;

    x = 11 ;
______________________________________________
x + y = 47<span> ;

</span>Plug in "11" for "x" into the equation ; to solve for "y" ;

11 + y = 47 ;

Subtract "11" from EACH SIDE of the equation;
  to isolate "y" on one side of the equation; and to solve for "y" ;

 11 + y − 11 =  47 − 11  ;

            y = 36 .
___________________________________________
So:  x = 11 , y = 36 ;
___________________________________________
 Let us check our work:

y − x = 25 ;

36 − 11 =? 25 ?  Yes!

x + y = 47 ;

36 + 11 =? 47 ? Yes!
______________________________________________
The numbers are:  36 and 11 .

Justine answered 69 questions correctly on a 150 question test
MArishka [77]

Answer:

I am assuming you are asking for what percent correct she got. She got 46% correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

You divide the answers correct by the total questions. She got 69 out of 150, so dividing that is .46

To turn a decimal into a percentage, just move the decimal two places to the right, thus getting 46 %

If I assumed what you were asking incorrectly, let me know and I'll be happy to help!

Ede4ka [16]

Answer:

The next number is 1321232112

Step-by-step explanation:

32 is read off as "one 3, one 2" = 1312

1312 is read off as "one 1, one 3, one 1, one 2" = 11131112

11131112 is read off as "three 1s, one 3, three 1s, one 2" = 31133112

31133112 is read off as "one 3, two 1s, two 3s, two 1s, one 2" = 1321232112
