Hey there! I'm happy to help!

Let's call these numbers x and y and model the information we have.

x=1/5y

y-x=228 (we see that x is smaller than y in the first equation, so we put it second )

We see that x is equal to 1/5y. We can switch the x in the second equation with 1/5y and solve for y.

y-1/5y=228

4/5y=228

We divide both sides by 4/5.

y=285

We know that x is 1/5 of y, so we divide by 5.

285/5=57

x=57

So, our numbers are 57 and 285.

Have a wonderful day! :D

Solve for f. 2+1.25f=10-2.75f
Harrizon [31]
f = 2

Simplify both sides of the equation <span><span>1.25f</span>+2</span>=<span><span>−<span>2.75f</span></span>+<span>10

Add 2.75 to each side </span></span><span><span>4f</span>+2</span>=<span>10

Subtract 2 from both sides </span><span>4f</span>=<span>8

Divide each side by 4 </span>f=<span>2</span>

Applying Rate of change
olga nikolaevna [1]
\bf \begin{array}{ccllll}&#10;minutes(x)&Mbs\ left(y)\\&#10;-----&-----\\&#10;2&38.4\\&#10;8&9.6&#10;\end{array}\\\\&#10;-----------------------------\\\\&#10;slope = {{ m}}= \cfrac{rise}{run} \implies &#10;\cfrac{{{ y_2}}-{{ y_1}}}{{{ x_2}}-{{ x_1}}}\impliedby \textit{rate of change}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;m=\cfrac{9.6-38.4}{8-2}\implies m=-\cfrac{24}{5}\iff m= -4.8

now, notice, the rate of change for downloading is negative, because, "y" is decreasing,  namely the Mbs to be downloaded, are less and less and less as the minutes go by, because the file is almost fully downloaded

so is -4.8

now... at 8minutes, there are 9.6Mbs to download
bear in mind that 9.6 is just 4.8 * 2
that simply means, another minute, another 4.8 Mbs, and another minute and another 4.8 Mbs and the file is done

so, the file downloaded really in 10minutes

now, we know the rate is -4.8 or -24/5,   let us nevermind the sign for now

since we know the file is downloading at 24Mbs in 5minutes, a rate of 24/5

how much is it for 10 minutes?   well 10 is really just 5 * 2

so if it downloads at a rate of 24Mbs per 5mins, in 10 minutes it downloaded 24*2 or 48Mbs
