Let the numbers be x and y

x + y = 100
-
x - y = 26
________
0x + 2y = 74

2y = 74

y = 74/2 = 37

y is actually the less number = 37. The second equation tells y is lesser.

37 because 63+37=100 and 63-37=26

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Mean would mean average, which in this case is $\frac{x+y}{2}$

so your equation would look like $\frac{69+x}{2}=41$

Next multiply both sides by to clear the fraction $2*(\frac{69+x}{2})$

to get $69+x=89$

Subtract 69 from both sides $69+x=82\\-69 -69$

you get $x = 13$

Of 30 students 1/3 play sports 2/3 of them play soccer. How many play soccer

agasfer [191]

1/3 of 30 is 10 because you dividing it by 3 and you would get 10.

Now 2/3 of 10 :

10/3=3.3 (2/3 so we have to multiply by 2) 3.3•2=6.6

6.6 has to be estimated because you can't have 6.6 people.

Your answer would be 6. Before I said 7 but you said I was incorrect so the only possibility left is 6.

Hoped I helped!
