Answer:

14

Step-by-step explanation:

x+y=18

x is the larger number

4y-2=x

(4y-2)+y=18

5y-2=18

y=4

18-4=14

the larger number is 14

The sum of person x and person y is 2640. if person x's income is 20% more than person y, find person x's income.
Masja [62]

Answer:

I do not understand she question do you mean the sum of their income is 2640

if so, then the answer is 440 to be x income

Step-by-step explanation:

x income = 20% or 1/5 of y income

y income = 5 of x income

we know that the sum of their income = 2640

which means that

x + y = 2640 =

1/5y + y = 2640

6y/5 = 2640

cross multiply to give us

6y = 5(2640)

6y = 13200

divide through by 6 to give us,

6y/6 = 13200/6

y = 2200

since we know that x income is 20% y income,

therefore, x income =

20/100 * 2200

= 440

therefore,

x income = 440

y income = 2200

Please answer this worth 10 points<br><br> look in the image plz

1) It’s true because -5 is way smaller than 3. All the negatives are below the 0 and everything below the 0 is lower than everything above the 0.

2) false. it’s false because in order -5 isn’t even close to 3

3) false.. It’s false because when you have those 2 line that are covering the -5 that means it’s “transforming” into a positive number. So therefore it’s would be 5>3 that would make it true.

4) True. it’s true because like I said the to lines mean the absolute value of something. So it’s being switch to a positive number


Hope this helps :)
