Answer:

The large number is 31, and the small number is 16

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

let the first number be x

and the second number be y

so

x+y= 47------------1

and

y-x= 15-------------2

from eqn1

x= 47-y

put this in eqn 2

y-(47-y)=15

y-47+y=15

2y= 15+47

2y=62

divide both side by 2

x= 62/2

x=31

From eqn 1

x+y= 47

31+y=47

y=47-31

y=16

X - Ollie's age

8 is subtracted from Ollie's age = x-8

subtracting 16 from 3 times his age = 3x-16

x-8=3x-16 \\
x-3x=-16+8 \\
-2x=-8 \\
x=4

It's really hard for me to understand what they are asking.​
Gekata [30.6K]

Answer:

B is the correct answer

Step-by-step explanation:

Angles 1, 2, and 3 added together should make 180 degrees.

So, if angle 2 is 70 degrees, you subtract 70 from 180 (180-70=110) and you're left with 110 degrees.

Angle 1 and 3 add together should make 110 degrees which makes B the only true statement.
