Answer:

35.34 and 16.66

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

let the numbers be x and y

the smaller number = x

the larger number = y

x+y=52--------1

<em>The larger number is 2 less than twice the smaller number</em>

y=2x-2-------2

put y= 2x-2 in eqn 1

x+2x-2=52

3x-2=52

3x=52-2

3x=50

x= 50/3

x= 16.66

put x=16.66 in eqn 1 to find y

x+y=52

16.66+y= 52

y=52-16.66

y= 35.34

Hence the numbers are

35.34 and 16.66

Check

35.34+16.66= 52

Use the elimination method to solve the system of equations. Choose the correct ordered pair. 4x + 8y = 16 4x - 8y = 0 A. (4, 2)
balu736 [363]
Adding both equations cancels y:

<span>4x + 8y = 16 
</span><span>4x - 8y = 0 
-----------------+
8x = 16 => x=2

filling in x=2 in the first equation gives:

4*2 + 8y = 16 => 8y = 8 => y=1

So (2,1) is the (x,y) pair that solves the two equations. Answer C.</span>

A certain bleach is 5% active ingredients. In 10 gallons of this bleach, how much is active ingredients
aalyn [17]
You didn't include how many gallons each container of bleach has, so I'm just going assume one container has a gallon inside. if 5% of one gallon is active Ingredients, and there are 10 gallons, then that's 1,000%. (one gal = 100%. 100x10= 1,000) 5 x 10= 50, so 50% of 1,000% is active ingredients, which can be simplified to 5% anyway, so 5%
