The answer is C- 1in:5miles
So let’s make the smaller number x and the larger one y....
Set up your equation by following the words signaling mathematical operations from the question.
y = 8 + 4x
y + 4x = 40
Now let’s bring all variables to one side and solve the system if equations with elimination...
y - 4x = 8
y + 4x = 40
Add the equations:
2y = 48
y = 24
Plug the y-value into one of the original equations:
24 = 8 + 4x
16 = 4x
4x = 16
x = 4
And there you have it! The smaller number [x] is 4 and the larger number [y] is 24.
Answer:
6+2=8 12-8=4 so she has $4 left
Step-by-step explanation:
Fraction form: x=7/12
Steps:
64^4x-3
2^6(4x-3)=2^-4
6(4x-3)=-4
4x-3=-2/3
4x=7/3
X=7/12
