Answer:

4) smaller number is 9, larger number is 12

13) 38.45=5m+8.5

m=5.99

Step-by-step explanation:

x+y=21      the sum of two numbers is 21

x-3=.5y  the smaller number is 3 more than half the larger number

multiply both sides by 2 and you get 2x-6=y

plug that equation into the first equation and you get x+2x-6=21

simplifying you get 3x-6=21 add 6 to  both sides and you get 3x=27

x=9 so the smaller number is 9 then you plug that back into the first equation and get y=12


let m be the cost of 1 movie and c be the cost of the cd

38.45=5m+c

38.45=5m+8.5 this is the equation you use

subtract 8.5 from both sides and you get 29.95=5m

divide both sides by 5

5.99=m the answer

The sum of three numbers is 855. One of the numbers, x, is 50% more than the sum of the other two numbers. What is the value of
Snowcat [4.5K]

Answer:

The value of x = 513

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x, y, and z be the three numbers

Given

x+y+z=855

Assuming x be the number which is 50% more than the sum of the other two numbers.

i.e.

(150)% of (y+z) = 1.5(y+z)

                y + z = x/1.5

As we know that

x + y + z = 855

substituting y + z = x / 1.5 in the equation

x+\frac{x}{1.5}=855

Multiply both sides by 1.5

x\cdot \:1.5+\frac{x}{1.5}\cdot \:1.5=855\cdot \:1.5

1.5x+x=1282.5

2.5x=1282.5

Divide both sides by 2.5

\frac{2.5x}{2.5}=\frac{1282.5}{2.5}

x = 513

Therefore, the value of x = 513
