Plug in the numbers so it will turn out as 21. Divided by 3(2) . You know that if 2 numbers are close by each other than you are going to multiply so 3 times 2 = 6 , then you do 21 divided by 6 = 3.5
The answer = 3.5
The numbers are 5 and 12.
Smaller number = x
Larger number = y
x +y =17
y = 3x - 3
x +3x -3 = 17
4x = 20
x = 5
smaller number is 5
y = 3(5) - 3
y = 12
larger number is 12.
Gina saw 25 monkeys
25 ÷ 5 = 5
5 + 7 = 12
12 + 6 = 18
25 + 5 +12 + 6 = 48 animals
gina saw 48 animals at the zoo
