~You would set up the equation x+(3x+5)=6565
~Combine like products so 3x+x=4x.
~Now you have 4x+5=6565.
~Isolate the variable by subracting the 5 from both sides, so you have 4x=6560.
~Since you multiply x by 4, divide both sides by 4, and 6560 divided by 4 is 1,640.
*The first number is 1,640.
~Now to find the second number you simply plug in 1,640 to (3x+5), with 1,640 being x.
~That would become [3(1,640)+5].
~3 times 1, 640 is 4,920, and add the 5 so you get 4,925.
*The second and larger number is 4,925.
If you wanna check just add the two numbers, and you get 6565.
Answer:
6.3 km.
Step-by-step explanation:
The question asks for kilometers, so all amounts have to be calculated in the same units -- kilometers.
Convert meters to kilometers.
600 m = .6 km
700 m = .7 km.
Add the amounts:
Fri.: .6 km
Sat. 3 km
Sun.: 2.7 km.
--------------------------------
6.3 km.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
The product of the original numbers: xy
The product of the altered numbers (.75x)(.5y), or 0.375xy
The product has decreased by 1 - 0.375, or 0.625, or 62.5%
