We call two numbers a and b, notice a>b
<span>The sum of two numbers is 110: a+b=110
</span><span>The larger number is 2 less than 7 times the smaller: a=7b-2
And by replacing a=7b-2 we have an equation: 7b-2+b=110
or 8b=110+2, and 8b=112, that means b=112:8= 14

We have two numbers: 14 and 96</span>

On average, a pair of bike tires can last 18 months if used every day. The length of time bike tires can last is exponentially d
aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer:

We conclude that eighty percent of bike tires last at most 14.4 months.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that a pair of bike tires can last 18 months if used every day.

We calculate how much eighty percent of the tire will last in months.

We have the following proportion:

18:100\%=x:80\%\\\\100x=18\cdot 80\\\\100x=1440\\\\x=\frac{1440}{100}\\\\x=14.4

We conclude that eighty percent of bike tires last at most 14.4 months.

Solve the following systems of equations 2a+4b+c=5 ; a-4b=-6 ; 2b+c=7.
SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

a = -2

b = 1

c = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

2a + 4b + c = 5 ............(1)

a - 4b = - 6

or

a = 4b - 6 .............(2)

2b + c = 7

or

c = 7 - 2b   ...........(3)

substituting 2 and 3 in  1, we get

2(4b - 6 ) + 4b + (7 - 2b) = 5

or

8b - 12 + 4b + 7 - 2b = 5

or

10b - 5 = 5

or

b = 1

substituting b in 2, we get

a = 4(1) - 6

or

a = -2

substituting b in 3, we get

c = 7 - 2(1)

or

c = 5

thus,

a = -2

b = 1

c = 5
