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.

Lilit [14]

Answer:

1) 28.4 miles per gallon

2) 34 miles per gallon

3) the red car

Step-by-step explanation:

Blue car:

Travels 35 1/2 miles on 1 1/4 gallons of gasoline

Red car:

Travels 27 1/5 miles on 4/5 gallons of gasoline

We want to know the unit rate for miles per hour, and to do it we have to divide the miles they travel by the gallons each car uses:

Blue car:

(35 1/2) / (1 1/4) = 28.4 miles per gallon

Red car:

(27 1/5) / (4/5) = 34 miles per gallon

The red car travels greater distance with 1 gallon of gasoline {and thats about it!}
