The larger number is 17

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Let "x" be the larger number

Let "y" be the smaller number

<em><u>The difference between of two numbers is 9</u></em>

Therefore,

larger number - smaller number = 9

x - y = 9 -------- eqn 1

<em><u>The large number is one more than twice the smaller number</u></em>

Larger number = 1 + 2(smaller number)

x = 1 + 2y ------ eqn 2

<em><u>Let us solve eqn 1 and eqn 2</u></em>

<em><u>Substitute eqn 2 in eqn 1</u></em>

1 + 2y - y = 9

1 + y = 9

y = 9 - 1

y = 8

<em><u>Substitute y = 8 in eqn 1</u></em>

x - 8 = 9

x = 8 + 9

x = 17

Thus the larger number is 17

X+y=8 solve by substitution <br> and<br> Y=3x with substitution too
inna [77]

Answer:

x=2

Step-by-step explanation:

Convert the Y to 3x since we know that y=3x.

You would get x+3x=8.

Add the x and 3x to get 4x

Then, you would get 4x=8.

Divide by 4 on both sides to get x=2.

What is 455 dived by 67
denis-greek [22]
In think you actually wanted the answer to the division of 455 by the number 67.
455/67 = 6.791.
For dividing such large numbers, try to go step by step. In this case try the multiplying 67 by 1 first, then by 2, then by 3, then by 4, then by 5, then by 6 and lastly by 7. When you multiply 67 by 7, then you will get 469. So this will show you that you cannot go beyond multiplying with 6. When you multiply 67 with 6 you get 402. hen again try multiplying the remainder and proceed accordingly.
