Answer:
73 and 15
Step-by-step explanation:
I made two variables for this:
x = larger number
y = smaller number
Write an equation for "the sum of two number is 88" and you get:
x + y = 88
Write an equation for "four times the smaller number is subtracted from the larger number" and you get:
x - 4y = 13
I do not want an equation with both x and y in it, so I will rewrite the first one and use substitution in the second one:
x + y = 88 -- move the x to the other side
y = 88 - x
x - 4y = 13 -- substitute for y
x - 4(88 - x) = 13 -- multiply by 4
x - 352 + 4x = 13 -- move -352 to the other side, combine x's
5x = 365 -- divide by 5
x = 73
Now that I know x is 73, I go back to my first equation (x + y = 88) and I get:
73 + y = 88 -- subtract 73 from both sides
y = 88 - 73
y = 15
Answer:
Then the answer is C
Step-by-step explanation:
1) Set a linear equation
2) Cross multiply
3) Multiple the right side
4) Divide both side by 2
5) Solving the linear equation
The answer is (C)
Just in case:
This slope goes through (0,0) or more formally, the origin.
This can be the equation, if you put it in x and you put it in y. So x plus y is equal to 30,000, 5/100x plus 11 over 100y is equal to 2200. The answer is y is equal to 70, 000 over 6. X = 11000/6
