Answer:
The smaller number is 4
Step-by-step explanation:
Larger number = x
Smaller number = y
Write 2 equations
y + 6 = x
2x = 5y
Substitute x in the first equation to the second equation
2(y + 6) = 5y
Multiply 2(y + 6)
2y + 12 = 5y
Subtract 2y from both sides of the equation
12 = 3y
Divide both sides of the equation by 3
y = 4
x = y + 6 = 4 + 6 = 10
The smaller number is 4
Hope this helps :)
49=-7k is equivalent to D because when you simplify both of them, you get -7=k
<span>Carol noticed that 7/10 of the children playing soccer were girls. Which statement could be correct?
A. There were 28 girls and 12 boys playing soccer.
28 : x% = 40 (the total number of children) : 100%
40x = 28 * 100
40x = 2800
x = 2800 / 40
x = 70%
There were 70% of girls in the class.
70 / 100 = 0.7
7/ 10 = 0.7
This is why A is the correct answer.

Equation is (x+2)^2 - x^2 = 7676
solve the equation by first opening the bracket of (x+2)^2 by A^2 + 2AB +C^2
you'll end up with 4x + 4 = 7672
thus x = 1918 and the next number is 1920.
