Answer:

27

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the two numbers, smaller be x and larger be y.

As per statement, one number is 3 less than a second number.

x = y - 3…Eq..1

Twice the second number is 3 less than 3 times the first.

3x = 2y + 3…Eq..2

Now putting the value of x from Eq..1 to Eq…2

3x = 2y + 3

3 (y - 3) = 2y + 3

3y - 9 = 2y + 3

3y - 2y = 3 + 9

y = 12

The larger number is 12.

Now putting the value of y in Eq. 1 to get the value of x

x = y - 3

x = 12 - 3

x = 9

The smaller number is 9

Answer the two numbers, smaller is 9 and larger is 12.

To check the correctness of answer, substituting the derived values of two numbers in the Eq…2

3x = 2y + 3

3 × 9 = 2 × 12 + 3

27 = 24 + 3

27 =27

grin007 [14]

Answer:

y = -1/6x + 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

y2 - y1 / x2 - x1

-5 - 0 / 32 - 2

-5 / 30

= -1/6

y = -1/6x + b

0 = -1/6(2) + b

0 = -1/3 + b

1/3 = b

The answer and how to do it
inessss [21]
Alright, here is how to do it:
First you are going to want to multiply 4x4. [That is Dino's Charges for 4 Sandwiches.] So once you've done that, you should get 16

Now, you're going to want to multiply 8x4. [That is Carla's charges for 4 Sandwiches.] So once you've done that, you should get 24.

Now, to find the difference you will have to subtract them. 24-16 = 18.
Now that we've done this we now know your answer is:
Carla's sandwiches cost more than Dino's sandwiches. The difference is 18 dollars.

Answer the question and answer it down below
Sergio039 [100]

Answer:

4:24 p.m.

Step-by-step explanation:

Figure out how often the buses leave at the same time. This is the same as the least common multiple (LCM) of how often they leave the stadium.

The LCM is found by multiplying the maximum number of each prime factor found in any of the numbers.

The prime factors of a number are found by dividing it by whole numbers until the factors are all prime. Prime numbers only have the factors 1 and itself.

6 = 2 X 3

8 = 2 X 2 X 2

The greatest times 2 repeats is three times.

The greatest times 3 repeats is one time.

2 X 2 X 2 X 3 = 24

The LCM is 24, and the buses have the same leaving times every 24 minutes.

Find 24 minutes after 4:00 p.m. Change the minutes only, which are the numbers right of the colon : .

The buses will next leave together at 4:24 p.m.
