X and y are the numbers
x>y
diffference is 42
x-y=42
larger is 3 less than 6 times smaller
x=-3+6y
subsitute -3+6y for x
x-y=42
-3+6y-y=42
-3+5y=42
add3 to both sides
5y=45
divide both sides by 5
y=9
sub back
x=-3+6y
x=-3+6(9)
x=-3+54
x=51
the numbers are 51 and 9
Answer:
The depth now is 47 feet below the surface of the lake
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Determine initial depth
Initial depth=surface level-depth below surface
where;
Surface level=0, since its the point of reference
depth below surface=96 feet
replacing;
Initial depth=(0-96)=-96 feet
Step 2: Final depth
Final depth=Initial depth+distance covered
where;
Initial depth=-96 feet
distance covered=+49 feet since the scuba driver moves towards the surface
replacing;
distance covered=-96+49=-47 feet
The depth now is 47 feet below the surface of the lake
