Answer: the smaller number is - 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the smaller number

Let y represent the larger number.

One number added to three times another number is 45. This is expressed as

x + y = 45

Six times the first number added to two times the other number is 62. This means that

6x + 2y = 62 - - - - - - - - - - - -1

Substituting x = 45 - y into equation 1, it becomes

6(45 - y) + 2y = 62

270 - 6y + 2y = 62

- 6y + 2y = 62 - 270

- 4y = - 208

y = - 208/-4

y = 52

x = 45 - y = 45 - 52

x = - 7

mamaluj [8]

Answer:

3 oatmeal muffins

Step-by-step explanation:

First, subtract the 5 muffins she dropped from the total:

73 - 5

= 68

Then, divide this by 13:

68/13

= 5.23

We need a whole number of muffins in each container, so round this down to 5.

This means that there can be 5 muffins in each of the 13 containers.

Find how many will be leftover:

5(13)

= 65

68 - 65

= 3

So, there will be 3 oatmeal muffins left
