Let x = big number

Let y = small number

x + y = 66...Equation A

2y = x + 15...Equation B

We have two equations in two unknowns.

x + x + 15 = 66

2x = 66 - 15

2x = 54

x = 54/2

x = 27

Plug x = 27 into EITHER equation above to find y.

I will use Equation A.

x + y = 66

27 + y = 66

y = 66 - 27

y = 39

The two numbers are 27 and 39.

Answer:

Numbers are 27 , 39.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The sum of two numbers is 66. two times the smaller number is 15 more then the larger number .

To find : what are the numbers.

Solution : We have given sum of two numbers is 66

Let the smaller number = x

Larger number = y.

According to question :

two times the smaller number is 15 more then the larger number .

Two times the smaller number =2x

15 more than the larger number y + 15.

2x = y + 15.

Now subtract 15 form both sides

y = 2x - 15.

Second condition :

Sum of two number is  66.

x + y =66

Now plug the y =2x -15.

x + 2x -15 = 66

3x -15 = 66.

On adding both sides by 15

3x = 66 + 15.

3x = 81

On dividing both sides by 3

x = 27.

Then , 27 + y = 66.

On subtracting both sides by 27.

y = 39.

Therefore, Numbers are 27 , 39.

Can someone, help. I'm so confused
Lena [83]
Okay, so it basically means you're subtracting.
I'm going to give some examples of what the answer could be.

1. 5 - 5 = 0
2. 5 - 4 = 1
3. 5 - 3 = 2
4. 5 - 2 = 3
5. 5 - 1 = 4
6. 5 - 0 = 5

Or of course if you feel you would like to switch the order of the problems, go ahead and try that, but no matter what happens, make sure the addition version always equal 5, so just be careful :)

If f(x)= x2/x+3, find f(x+h)?
kompoz [17]

f(x+h) =  \frac{x^{2}+2xh+h^{2}  }{x+h+3}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

f(x) = \frac{x^{2} }{x+3}

To find the value of f(x+h) we need to replace x by x+h

Hence,

f(x+h) = \frac{(x+h)^{2} }{x+h+3}

= \frac{x^{2}+2xh+h^{2}  }{x+h+3}

[Here, we apply the formula of (a+b)^{2}= a^{2} +2ab+ b^{2}]
