Answer:
Smaller number: 12
Greater number: 31
Step-by-step explanation:
Hi there!
Let x equal to the smaller number.
Let y be equal to the greater number.
<u>1) Translate the information into equations</u>
"One is 7 more than twice the other"
⇒ 
"The sum of the numbers is 43"
⇒ 
<u>2) Use substitution to solve for the smaller number</u>

Plug the equation
into the above equation

Subtract both sides by 7

Divide both sides by 3 to isolate x

Therefore, the smaller number equates to 12.
<u>3) Use substitution to solve for the greater number</u>

Plug in x as 12

Subtract both sides by 12 to isolate y

Therefore, the greater number equates to 31.
I hope this helps!
Y=3x-4
Hope you get it turned in in time!!!

Answer:
D
-29
Step-by-step explanation:
Problem 1
In the first hour, the number of bacteria is 22
In the second hour,the number of bacteria is 44
It looks like the formula is some multiple of 22
That means you should pick D
Problem 2
n = 12
a = 15
d = - 4
an= 15 + (n - 1)*d
a12 = 15 + 11*(-4)
a12 = 15 - 44
a12 = - 29
