Answer:

The numbers are 14 and 25

Step-by-step explanation:

Let one of the numbers be x. The second number we are told is 3 less than twice x. The second number will thus be;

2x - 3

The sum of the numbers is thus;

x + (2x - 3) = 3x - 3

But the sum of the numbers is said to be 39, therefore;

3x - 3 = 39

3x = 42

x = 14

The second number is thus;

2(14) - 3 = 28 - 3 = 25

Answer:

Each person get = 20 cents

Step-by-step explanation:

Given - Maya and three friends have three quarters and one nickel to spend.

To find - If Maya and her friends share the money equally how much will each person get ?

Proof -

We know that

1 nickel = 5 cents

1 quarter = 25 cents

As they spent, 3 quarters and one nickel

So,

Total money spent = 3(25) + 5 = 75 + 5 = 80 cents

⇒Total money spent = 80 cents

Now,

Total people = 4 (Maya and three friends )

Now,

Given that, They share the money equally

So,

Each person get = $\frac{80}{4}$ = 20 cents
