Answer:
22 and 7
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x and y be the two numbers we are looking for:
The statement “their sum is 29” means x + y = 29
The statement “their difference is 15” means x - y = 15
we get this system:
x + y = 29 (1)
x - y = 15 (2)
Let’s solve it :
(1) + (2) ⇒ x + y + x - y = 29 + 15 ⇒ 2x = 44 ⇒ x = 44/2 = 22
Now we replace x by 22 in equation (1) :
22 + y = 29 ⇒ y = 29 - 22 = 7
20 is the answer to this problem
They are equivalent
30:12 => 5:2
40:16 => 5:2
hope this helsp
It isn't easy really but you can always divide the number out. For example 50% of 200 is 100 by dividing 200 by 2 or 25% of 100 is 25 by dividing 100 by 4 since 25% is equivalent to 1/4
