Answer:

The smaller number is 22

The larger number is 30

Step-by-step explanation:

L + S = 52

L = S + 8

Set both equations equal to L.

S + 8 = -S + 52

+S +S

2S + 8 = 52

- 8 - 8

2S = 44

S = 22

To find the larger number, plug 22 in as S into the equations.

L = 30

three bags of sweets weigh 27/4 kg. two of them have the same weight and the third bag is heavier than each of the bags of equal

Nana76 [90]

I'm here buddy,

so, let's take the value of the two bags with equal weight as x.

= x + x + (x + $\frac{6}{5}$ ) = $\frac{27}{4}$

= 3x + $\frac{6}{5}$ = $\frac{27}{4}$

= 3x = $\frac{27}{4}$ - $\frac{6}{5}$

( let's take the LCM of 4 and 5 = 20

= 3x = $\frac{135}{20}$ - $\frac{24}{20}$

= 3x = $\frac{111}{20}$

= x = $\frac{111}{20}$ ÷ $\frac{3}{1}$ = $\frac{111}{20}$ × $\frac{1}{3}$ = $\frac{37}{20}$

So, the weight of the equal bags are $\frac{37}{20}$ and the weight of the third bag ( heavy one ) is $\frac{37}{20}$ + $\frac{6}{5}$ = $\frac{37}{20}$ + $\frac{24}{20}$ = $\frac{61}{20}$

1st bag = $\frac{37}{20}$ kg

2nd bag = $\frac{37}{20}$ kg

3rd bag = $\frac{61}{20}$ kg

Hope it helps...

Between the two persons presented above, Julie had ridden farther. This is because from the routes she had taken, she would be covering greater distance compared to Kyle. Julie still ad to ride from the complex to school.
