20 and 14
Explanation:
Let the larger number be
x
Then the smaller number will be
x
−
6
Three times the smaller number is
3
(
x
−
6
)
, which is equal to two more than twice the other number which is
2
x
+
2
So,
→
3
(
x
−
6
)
=
2
x
+
2
Use the distributive property
a
(
b
+
c
)
=
a
b
+
a
c
→
3
x
−
18
=
2
x
+
2
Add
18
both sides
→
3
x
=
2
x
+
20
Subtract
2
x
both sides
⇒
x
=
20
We know that the larger number is
20
So, the smaller number is
20
−
6
=
14
S = cube root of the volume
s = 756^(1/3) or cube root of 756
56 ounces are 3.5 pounds because 16 ounces are 1 pound and if you divide 56 by 16 you get 3.5
And it is! We drove 50<span> mph for </span>0.5<span> hours—and </span>50 ⋅ 0.5<span> equals </span>25<span>, which is our distance.</span>
