Answer:

Numbers are 6 and 17.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the two numbers are 'a' and 'b'.

"Sum of these numbers = 23"

a + b = 23 --------(1)

"One number is 7 less than 4 times the other"

a = 4b - 7 ---------(2)

Substitute the value of 'a' in equation (1) from equation (2)

(4b - 7) + b = 23

5b - 7 = 23

5b = 23 + 7

5b = 30

b = 6

From equation (2),

a = 4b - 7

a = 4×6 - 7

a = 24 - 7

a = 17

Therefore, the numbers are 6 and 17.

1. x <= 31
2. x < 28

For number 1, x is less than or equal to 31 because the number of days in a month (represented by x) will be less than or equal to 31.

For number 2, x is less than 28 because the number of students (represented by x) in each class will always be less than 28.

How do u work this out and what's the answer
I am Lyosha [343]
1) you would need to turn both fractions so they have a common denominator, that would be 2 2/4 and 3/4
2) then subtract : 2 2/4 - 3/4, and you would subtract numerators and the whole number, but you keep the denominator the same. However, you cannot subtract 2 and 3 in this case, so you need to change 2 2/4 to 1 5/4 (they are still equivalent)
3) 1 5/4 - 3/4 = 1 2/4, which simplified version is 1 1/2
Therefore, the answer is 1 and 1/2
