Answer:
The correct answer with step-by-step explanation:
I am assuming that you can only pick one answer per question.
Let's imagine there are two questions on the test. I would:
1) Consider the first question. How many possible ways could you answer it?
2) Consider the second question. How many ways can you answer that?
If you wrote out all the possibilities, how many combinations of answers would you get across the two questions?
Answer: 5$ in all
Step-by-step explanation:
I added 3 + 2 dollars in all
According to your question, there are 2 unknown numbers mentioned.
Let the 2 unknown numbers be represented by the variables x & y, then
x is considered to be one of the numbers being more than y by the addition of 4, .ie.
x = 4 + y --- (1)
The sum of the 2 numbers is 60, i.e.
x + y = 60 --- (2)
To find the smaller number, we solve eqn (1) & (2) using the concept of substitution, i.e. substitute 4 + y for x in eqn (2), i.e.
4 + y + y = 60
4 + 2y = 60
2y = 60 - 4
2y = 56
y = 28 ...Ans.
Recall that x is more than y by 4, then 28 is the smaller number.
