Let
x---------> the larger number
y---------> the smaller number
we know that
x+y=148------> equation 1
x=3y-2------> equation 2
substitute 2 in 1
[3y-2]+y=148--------> 4y=150---------> y=150/4------> y=37.5
x=3y-2----> x=3*37.5-2-----> x=110.5
the answer is
the larger number is 110.5
the smaller number is 37.5
Y=1\2x.
hopes this helps you
Answer:
-y=5-x
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
3.93 (approx.)
Step-by-step explanation:
3 ^ x + 6 = 3 ^ 4 can be rewritten as 3 ^ x = 3 ^ 4 - 6, or
3^x = 81 - 6 = 75.
Then 3^x = 75, or
x*ln 3 = ln 75
Solving for x:
x = (ln 75) / (ln 3) = 3.93 (approx.)
