Mathematics
1 answer:
Nina [5.8K]3 years ago

Answer:

194 and 66

Step-by-step explanation:

Represent the numbers by a and b.

Then a + b = 260 and a = 3b - 4.

Substitute 3b - 4 for a in the first equation.  Then:

3b - 4 + b = 260, and:

4b = 264, which works out to b = 66.  If b = 66, then a = 3(66) - 4 = 194.

The two numbers are 194 and 66.

If 4/5 of a population of a certain town is considered to be middle class and the population of the town is 2000 how many people
const2013 [10]
First, you would need to create an equation for this problem.
\frac{4}{5} = \frac{x}{2,000}

Next, you would cross multiply. 
5x = 8,000

Now, all you would have to do is isolate the x. To do this, you would divide both sides by 5. 
x = <span>1,600

1,600 people are considered middle class. 

I hope this helps!</span>
