The sum of two positive numbers is 5 times their difference.

X + Y = 5 ( X - Y)
X + Y = 5X - 5Y
-4X = -6Y
4X = 6Y
X = 6/4 = 3/2
Y = 4/6 = 2/3

The ratio of the larger number to the smallest number is 3/2

Elodia [21]

Answer:

r - 5 = 2c

r = 75

Step-by-step explanation:

To write an equation for the problem, we first need do declare the value of the number of apps cora has.

Let c = Cora's apps

r - 5 = 2c

r - 5 is used to indicate that Rita deleted 5 apps.

2c is used to represent the twice the number of apps Cora has.

Now you said that Cora had 35 apps.

Let's plug that into the equation.

r - 5 = 2c

r - 5 = 2(35)

r - 5 = 70

Now we transpose the -5 to the other side to leave r.

r = 70 + 5

r = 75

So if Cora has 35 apps, then Rita will have 75 apps.
