Let the larger number be w and the smaller number be k;
5w-11=3k
3k+16=4w
Reorganizing the equations;
5w-3k=11
4w-3k=16
Subtracting equation 2 from equation 1:
w=-5
Replacing value of w in equation 1;
5(-5)-11=3k
-25-11=3k
3k=-36
k=-12
The numbers are -5 and -12
Think about it do you think it's subtraction or addition?
Answer:
2.2
Step-by-step explanation:
To find your new number of sales per month, you will need to find the number of sales you have per month (based on 30 days per month).
55 x 20 = 1650 sales.
Than, you will need to calculate what 10% of this is and add it to your original sales number.
0.1 (10%) x 1650 = 165
1650 + 165 = 1815
You will need approximately 1815 sales based on the 30 day month.
9y - 5x = 20
or, (9y - 5x) / 20 = 1
or, 9/20 y - 1/4 x = 1
compare with x/a + y/b = 1
you'll get
x intercept (a) = -4
y intercept (b) = 20/9
