Answer:

13 and 23

Step-by-step explanation:

create an equation to solve:

(2x-3) + x = 36

3x - 3 = 36 combine like terms

<u> +3 +3</u><u> </u> add 3 to both sides

<u>3</u>x = <u>39</u>

3 3 divide both sides by 3

x = 13

<u>13 is the first number</u>

the 2nd number is 3 let than twice the first so we create and solve a new equation:

2x - 3 = ?

2(13) = ? substitute 13 from the

smaller number to solve

<u>23 = the 2nd number</u>

Which ordered pair is a solution to the system of linear equations 1/2x-3/4y=11/60 and 2/5x+1/6y=3/10
Leona [35]

Answer:

(\frac{2}{3} , \frac{1}{5})

Step-by-step explanation:

The fastest way to do this is to convert both equations into slope-intercept form and graph it to find the solution point. If you wanted to do this algebraically, you might want to start out by getting rid of the fractions and using either substitution or elimination to find x and y.

The O! Natural Company sells a juice in 1 gallon bottles. The current retail price of the juice is $3.50 for 1 gallon. In order
cluponka [151]

Answer:

After the discount, the customer will pay only 91.4% of the initial price.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that the price of the current retailer, in dollars, is:

3.50

After the discount, the new price, in dollars, is:

3.20

We want to know what percentage of the original price is the final price.

To find out, we must divide the final price between the initial price and then multiply the result by 100%

So:

\frac{&#10;3.20}{3.50}*100% = 0.914. * 100% = 91.4%

After the discount, the customer will pay only 91.4% of the initial price.

The discount percentage you are going to pay is 100% -91.4% = 8.6% of the initial price
