Let x and y represent the smaller and larger numbers, respectively.
y - x = 5 . . . . . the difference is 5
3y = 4x + 6 . . 3 times the larger is 4 times the smaller plus 6
Add x to the first equation to get an expression for y.
y = x + 5
Use that in the second equation.
3(x + 5) = 4x + 6
3x + 15 = 4x + 6 . . . . . eliminate parentheses
9 = x . . . . . . . . . . . . . . add -3x-6
y = x+5 = 14
smaller number: 9
larger number: 14

Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
G
Step-by-step explanation:
LS and TD are in the same positions in the equation. S is the first letter and D is so they are equal to each other and the same for L and T
Use the pythagorean theorem A²+B²=C²
Use 21ft for A
Use 14ft for B
Then solve for C (the diagonal)
21²+14²=C²
441+196=C²
673=C²
√<u />673 = √C²
C≈25.24 or if you leave in radical form it is the square root of 637
Alright, since there's 3.5*10^(-2) of salt for each liter of seawater, that means that for each liter added we add that to it, meaning that we multiply the amount of salt per liter by the total amount of liters, resulting in 3.5*9.88*10^(-2)*10^18=34.58*10^16 (by adding -2 and 18 we get 16). Since we only want 1 number in front of the decimal (that's not a 0) for scientific notation, we can move the decimal one spot to the left to make it 3.458. However, we can't simply move the decimal without changing the exponent - since we moved it one to the left, we must increase the power from 16 to 17 (conversely, if it moved to the right, we'd decrease the power), resulting in 3.458*10^17
