Let x represent the larger number.
Let y represent the smaller number.
x-y=4 Given
3x=5y-2 Given 
Now we can just substitute; let x=4+y 
Substitute 4+y for x in the second equation:
3(4+y)=5y-2
12+3y=5y-2
-2y=-14
y=7
Substitute back (into BOTH equations to double check work).
x, the larger number, is 11

Da numbers are x and y

lets say x>y
differebec between x and y is 4
x-y=4


3 times the larger is 2 more than 5 times the smaller
3 times x is 2 more than 5 times y
3x=2+5y

ok so we gots
x-y=4 and
3x=2+5y

hmm
in the first one we can solve for x and subsitute
x-y=4
add y to both sides
x=y+4
subsitute y+4 for x

3x=2+5y
3(y+4)=2+5y
distribute
3y+12=2+5y
minus 3y both sides
12=2+2y
minus 2 both sides
10=2y
divide 2 both sides
5=y

subsitute back

x=y+4
x=5+4
x=9

the numbers are 9 and 5

Pat attention to the ending of the numbers. If there are an odd amount of odds, it's going to be odd. If there is an even amount of odds, it's going to be even. If there's only evens, it's only going to stay even.

Sarah deposits $600 in a savings account that pays 2.5% per year. What is the minimum number of years it would take for the amou
shutvik [7]
Here is the compound interest formula solved for years:
<span>Years = {log(total) -log(Principal)} ÷ log(1 + rate)
</span>Years = {log(800) - log(600)} <span>÷ log(1.025)
</span><span>Years = {2.903089987 -2.7781512504} / 0.010723865392
</span>Years = { <span> <span> <span> 0.1249387366 } / </span></span></span><span><span><span>0.010723865392
</span> </span> </span> Years = <span> <span> <span> 11.6505319708 </span> </span> </span>
That's how many years it takes for the $600 to become exactly $800.00
The question specifically asks how long for the money to be MORE than $800.00?

So, if we enter 800.01 into the equation, then the answer is
Years = {log(800.01) - log(600)} <span>÷ log(1.025)
</span><span>Years = {2.9030954156 -2.7781512504} / 0.010723865392
</span>Years = <span> <span> <span> 0.1249441652 </span> </span> </span> / 0.010723865392
<span> <span> <span> Years = 11.6510381875 </span> </span> </span>
<span><span> </span></span>
