The sum of two numbers is twenty-five.One number is five less than the other number. Find the larger number

1 answer:

3 0

The larger number is 30.

Set up your equation.

x + y = 25

The question tells us one number is 5 less than the other.

The equation now becomes
x -5 = 25

Add 5 to each side to isolate x.

x=30

There are 48 cards in a pack and each card is either red or black.

Anon25 [30]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Red:black = 1:1

Red cards = x

Black cards =x

x + x = 48

2x = 48

x = 48/2

x = 24

No. of red cards = 24

No of black cards = 24

Now 8 red cards are removed

So, No. of red cards = 24 - 8 =16

Red: Black = 16:24

$=\frac{16}{24}=\frac{2}{3}$

Red: Black = 2:3
