Answer:
5
Step-by-step explanation:
Let L be the larger number and s be the smaller one.
Then we have two equations.
(1) L – s = 25
(2) s = L/6 Multiply both sides by 6
6s = L Substitute the value for L in Equation(1)
6s – s = 25 Combine like terms
5s = 25 Divide both sides by 5
s = 5
The value of the smaller number is 5.
Answer:
The answer is x = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
1. First you need to distribute the 3/4 * (x + 8). This looks like (3/4) * (x) + (3/4) * (8) = 9
2. Next you simplify the distributed equation, 3/4x + 6 = 9
3. Now subtract 6 from both sides, 3/4x = 3
4. Multiply both sides by 4/3, 4/x * 3/4x = 3 * 4/3
5. Simplify, x = 4
