Answer:

The smaller Number = 15

The larger number = 67

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

The smaller number = x

The larger number = 5x - 8

The sum = 82

(5x - 8) + x = 82

5x - 8 + x = 82

6x - 8 = 82

Add eight to both sides

6x - 8 + 8 = 82 + 8

6x = 90

Divide both sides by 6

x = 90/6

= 15

Therefore,

The smaller number = x = 15

The larger number = 5x - 8

= 5(15) - 8

= 75 - 8

= 67

Hi pls help.you do not have to do all 3. just either one will be ok pls explain as well:) thank you

Answer:

${7a^{5}b^{5} c\\$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{28a^{8}b^{6} c^{3} }{4a^{3}bc^{2} }$

→ First look at the first term of each expression and see if they can be simplified, and they can

$\frac{7a^{8}b^{6} c^{3} }{a^{3}bc^{2} }$

→ Now look at the a terms, since a larger one is at the top, you subtract

$\frac{7a^{5}b^{6} c^{3} }{bc^{2} }$

→ Now simplify the b and c terms

${7a^{5}b^{5} c$

Question 11 (5 points)

Semenov [28]

Hello :)

here you need to use the slope intercept formula to find your equation:

y= mx+b

b= the y- intercept

m= the slope

we are already given the slope and the x & y

y=-3x+(-2)

your answer would be a) y = -3x - 2

A school will have a fall festival if at least 40% of the 500 students plan to attend. How many students must agree to attend in

artcher [175]

Answer:

200 students must agree to attend in order for the school to have the festival.

Step-by-step explanation:

200 is 40% of 500. We can also use fractions to figure this out.

$\frac{40}{100} =\frac{x}{500}$

For 100 to become 500 it must be multiplied by 5. And whatever we do to the denominator we have to do to the numerator. So we multiply 40 × 5 = x

x = 200

$\frac{40*5}{100*5} = \frac{x}{500}$

$\frac{40}{100} =\frac{200}{500}$
