5x + 3 is larger integer
x is smaller integer
Therefore, 6x + 3 = 51
Solve for x, plug into the larger integer equation and get that answer!! Best of luck
Answer:
x = 5/e
Step-by-step explanation:
ln x- ln 5= -1
We know that ln a - ln b = ln (a/b)
ln x- ln 5= -1
ln(x/5) = -1
Raise each side to the power of e
e^ ln(x/5) = e^-1
We know that e^-1 = 1/e
x/5 = 1/e
Multiply each side by 5
x/5 *5 = 1/e * 5
x = 5/e
Answer:
Smaller number: 12
Larger number: 34
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the smaller number.
Let 3x - 2 represent the larger number (The larger number is two less than three times the smaller number, or x)
x + 3x -2 = 46
Add 3x + x:
4x - 2 = 46
Add 2 to both sides:
4x = 46 + 2
Add 46 + 2:
4x = 48
Divide both sides by 4:
4x/4 = 48/4
x = 12 is the smaller number
Since 12 is the smaller number, and the sum of the two numbers is 46, than the larger number must be 34.

No because in 1/3 you get 2/6 so if you have 1/3 vs. 5/6 than you only have 1/3 containing 2/6 and we are looking for 5/6 so that is wrong. 5/6 is bigger that 1/3.
