One number is 9 more than twice another. If their difference is 22, what is the larger number?

1 answer:

4 0

Let, the numbers are: x, y
So, Equations will be: x - y = 22
x = 2y + 9

Substitute the value of x in first equation,
2y + 9 - y = 22
y = 22 - 9
y = 13

x - 13 = 22
x = 22 + 13 = 35

In short, Larger number would be 35

Hope this helps!

sp2606 [1]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

p = power washer and g = generator

6p + 6g = 90 .....multiply by 4

4p + 8g = 100 ....multiply by -6

---------------------

24p + 24g = 360 (result of multiplying by 4)

-24p - 48g = -600 (result of multiplying by -6)

---------------------add

-24g = - 240

g = -240 / -24

g = 10 <=== the generator cost $ 10 per hr

6p + 6g = 90

6p + 6(10) = 90

6p + 60 = 90

6p = 90 - 60

6p = 30

p = 30/6

p = 5 <==== the power washer costs $ 5 per hr

check...

4p + 8g = 100

4(5) + 8(10) = 100

20 + 80 = 100

100 = 100 (correct)
