Answer:
x=-6 , -7 . -8
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
Let's begin by writing the mathematical equations given by the sentences.
Let X = smaller number
Let Y = larger number
The first sentence tells us
X + Y = 38
The second sentence tells us
X = Y/3 + 6
Since you weren't given a specific method to use, you can use either the substitution method or the elimination(addition) method, whichever works best for you.
Since the 2nd equation has the X isolated, I'm going to isolate the X in the first equation,
X = 38 - Y
Since both equations are equal to X, I can set them equal to one another and solve for Y.
Y/3 + 6 = 38 - Y
Y + 18 = 114 - 3Y
4Y = 96
Y = 24
Then use either of the two original equations to solve for X
X + Y = 38
X + 24 = 38
X = 14

70 times .9 is 63 so 90 minus 63 is27 so it was $27
Answer:
9
Step-by-step explanation:
1.)Find the amount of women within the 120 people in the meeting. So 3/10*120 , you get 36.
2.)Add 24 to 120 to get the new amount of people in the room. So 144.
3.)Using the new ratio 11:5 , find the amount of total women out of 144 people . So 5/16*144 , you get 45.
4.)Now minus the 2 amounts of initial women from the amount of total new women , to get the difference to find out how many women are there in the 24 people. So 45-36 , you get 9
