Answer:
Are there directions?
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x and y be the two unknown numbers. If one number, say x,is 5 more than 3 times another, say y, the equation would be
x = 5 + 3y
When their difference is 35, x-y = 35, since x is the much larger number here. We substitute x to solve for the smaller number, y.
x - y = 35
(5 + 3y) -y = 35
5 +2y = 35
2y = 35-5
2y = 30
y = 15
The larger number x would be
x = 5 + 3(15)
x = 50
The answer is 50.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a unit rate problem. If we want to find out how much chocolate was eaten in 1 minute, we divide 31.5 by 7. This gives us the number of ounces of chocolate eaten in 1 minute: 4.5 ounces per minute.
