Answer:

The larger number is 69 and the smaller number is 35.

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the equations. Here x will be the larger number and y will be the smaller number.

x + y = 104

x = 2y -1

Substitute:

(2y -1) + y = 104

3y = 105

y = 35

x = 2(35) - 1

x = 70 - 1

x = 69

The larger number is 69 and the smaller number is 35.

The sum of the angles of a triangle is 180°. If one angle of a triangle measures x and the second angle measures (5x +19)º
lapo4ka [179]

Answer:

third angle = (-6x + 161)°

Step-by-step explanation:

180° = (x)° + (5x + 19)° + third angle →

180° = (6x + 19)° + third angle →

180° – (6x + 19)° = (6x + 19)° + third angle – (6x + 19)° →

180° – (6x + 19)° = third angle →

180° + -(6x + 19)° = third angle →

180° + (-6x)° + (-19)° = third angle

180° – 6x° – 19° = third angle

(180° – 19°) – 6x° = third angle

161° – 6x° = third angle

third angle = 161 – 6x°

third angle = -6x° + 161°

third angle = (-6x + 161)°

using two of the number cards from the list, fill in the gaps so that the values are in ascending order
Mademuasel [1]

The two gaps of the series are 236 % and 2.41.

The series is 2(32/100) _, _ , 247/100.

We are given that the series is in ascending order.

Let the missing numbers be x and y respectively.

We know that  2(32/100) = 2.32 in decimal form and 247/100 is 2.47 in decimal form.

Hence, we can write,

2.32 < x < y < 2.47

The given options are:-

231 % = 231/100 = 2.31 < 2.32

Hence, it is not the answer.

0.42 < 2.31

Hence, it is not the answer.

236 % = 236/100 = 2.36 > 2.31

Hence, this is one of the answers.

34 % = 0.34

0.34 < 2.31

Hence, it is not the answer.

0.237 < 2.31

Hence, it is not the answer.

2.41 > 2.32

Hence, this is one of the answers.

24.2 % = 24.2/100 = 0.242 < 2.31

Hence, it is not the answer.

0.36 < 2.31

Hence, it is not the answer.

As, 2.36 < 2.41, hence,

x = 2.36 or 236 % and,

y = 2.41

Jose set a goal of saving at least $200 in a savings account. He currently has $60 in the
Dovator [93]
It will take him 28 weeks. If he already has $60 of $200 saved, you would do 200 - 60. That would give you 140. To find out how long it would take him to make $140, you would have to do 140 divided by 5 to get the number of weeks.
