Let x and y be the two unknown numbers. If one number, say x,is 5 more than 3 times another, say y, the equation would be

x = 5 + 3y

When their difference is 35, x-y = 35, since x is the much larger number here. We substitute x to solve for the smaller number, y.

x - y = 35
(5 + 3y) -y = 35
5 +2y = 35
2y = 35-5
2y = 30
y = 15

The larger number x would be
x = 5 + 3(15)
x = 50

The answer is 50.

A theme park had 1099 visitors in 3 days.There were twice as many visitors on saturday than on Friday.There were 234 more visito
Blababa [14]

Answer: there were 692 visitors on Saturday.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of visitors that were there on Friday.

Let y represent the number of visitors that were there on Saturday.

Let z represent the number of visitors that were there on Sunday.

The theme park had 1099 visitors in 3 days. It means that

x + y + z = 1099- - - - - - - - - - - - - -1

There were twice as many visitors on saturday than on Friday. This means that

y = 2x

x = y/2

There were 234 more visitors on Sunday than on Saturday. This means that

z = y + 234

Substituting x = y/2 and z = y + 234 into equation 1, it becomes

y/2 + y + y + 234 = 1099

Cross multiplying by 2, it becomes

y + 2y + 2y + 468 = 2198

5y = 2198 - 468

5y = 1730

x = 1730/5

x = 346

y = 2x = 2 × 346

y = 692

z = y + 234 = 692 + 234

z = 926

Geometry help will give brainliest
blsea [12.9K]
In a parallogram the two angles on the same side ( Angle T and Angle C) equal 180 degrees

So we have 8x +29 + 2x +11 = 180

combine the like terms:
10x + 40 = 180

Subtract 40 from each side:
10x = 140

Divide each side by 10:
X = 140 /10
X = 14

Now we have X, replace X into the equation for angle C

2(14) +11 = 28 + 11 = 39 degrees
