Answer:
- The smaller number ⇒ y = 36
- The larger number ⇒ x = y + 12 = 36 + 12 = 48
Step-by-step explanation:
- Let the larger number be = x
- Let the smaller number be = y
As the larger number is twelve more than a smaller, so
x = y + 12
As the sum of larger and smaller numbers is 84, so
x + y = 84
now substituting x = y + 12 in th equation x + y = 84
x + y = 84
(y + 12) + y = 84
2y + 12 = 84
subtract 12 from both sides
2y + 12 - 12 = 84 - 12
2y = 72
divide both sides by 2
2y/2 = 72/2
y = 36
Thus,
- The smaller number ⇒ y = 36
- The larger number ⇒ x = y + 12 = 36 + 12 = 48
Answer: bigger number is 48 and smaller number is 36

Answer:
there would be 52 more girls I think
Step-by-step explanation:
let x = multiplier then
31x =number of boys
44x = number of girls
Boys + girls = 300
44x + 31x =300
75x = 300
x = 300/75
x = 4 is the multiplier
therefore:
44*4 = 176 girls
31*4 = 124 boys
dif = 52 more girls than boys
hope this helped :)
Answer:
y = -x - 2
Step-by-step explanation:
y = mx + c
m = (-1-3)/(-1-(-5)) = -4/4 = -1
y = -x + c
(-1,-1)
-1 = -(-1) + c
c = -2
y = -x - 2
Answer:
(0,-4)
Step-by-step explanation:
Prime numbers: 2, 3, 5, 7.
There are 4 prime numbers and 10 possibilities, so the probability is 4/10 = 2/5 or 40%
