Answer:

4 and 20

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of two numbers is 24.

One of the numbers is 5 times larger than the other.

Let x be the first number.

Let y be the second number.

x + y = 24

x = 5y

Put x as 5y in the first equation.

5y + y = 24

6y = 24

y = 4

Put y as 4 in the second equation.

x = 5(4)

x = 20

Two less than three times a number is the same as six more than twice the number. Write an equation and solve to find the number

lapo4ka [179]

Answer: 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be represented by x.

Two less than three times a number is the same as six more than twice the number. This will be:

(3 × x) - 2 = (2 × x) + 6

3x - 2 = 2x + 6

Collect like terms.

3x - 2x = 6 + 2

x = 8.

The number is 8
