Answer:

11 and 16

Step-by-step explanation:

A good way to solve these is to work backwards.

X= larger and Y= smaller

if X is 5 more than 2Y than subtract 5 from the total

38 - 5 = 33

divide by 3

33/3 = 11

11 = Y and double that is 22 so add the five back into X and you get 16

The variable, y, varies directly with x. If y = 26 when x = 21,<br> what is y when x = 64?

STatiana [176]

Answer:

y=69

Step-by-step explanation:

first step:when y=26 and x=21

c=y-x

c=26-21

c=5

second step: when y is unknown and x=64

To find y we simply add the value of c to x

y=x+c

y=64+5

y=69

Melinda and Marcus each have a job. Melinda earns $12 an hour. She also receives a $75 weekly bonus.

Olenka [21]

According to given information,
Equation of Melinda Earning = 75 + 12x
Equation of Marcus Earning = 15x
Where, x = Number of hours they worked.

Now, we need to calculate when they will have same amount of money, so for that instance they shall equal to each other.
75 + 12x = 15x
15x - 12x = 75
3x = 75
x = 75/3
x = 25

After 25 hours, they will have the money = 15(25) = $375

So, your final answer is $375

Hope this helps!
