Answer:
the correct choice is marked
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the smaller number. Then the larger number is 8x, and the difference is ...
8x -x = 280
7x = 280 . . . . . simplify
x = 40 . . . . . . divide by 7
The larger number is 8x = 8(40) = 320.

Effectively, we have solved for the multiplier (40) that gives the ratio with 320 on top and a difference between top and bottom of 280:
Answer:
x = 15
Explanation:
First, add both equations on one side, and set it equal to 180° because it's supplementary:
2x + 8 + 8x + 22 = 180
combine like terms:
10x + 30 = 180
subtract 30 on both sides of the equation and you end up with:
10x = 150
divide both sides by 10 and you get:
x = 15
6.2 is not a whole number
150/3 = 50 = a whole number
25 and 13 are whole numbers.
Answer is D
(1.5,3)
Explanation:
Substitute
1) 3-2(1.5)=0
So 0=0
2) 3=8(1.5)-9
So 3=3
Answer:
80 sq.in
Step-by-step explanation:
One square's side = 4in
One square's area = 16 sq. in
16 x 5 = 80 sq.in
Hope that helps!
