Sum means add
x+y=39
difference is 5
x-y=5
so we do this
x-y=5
add y to both sides
x=5+y
subsitute 5+y for x
5+y+y=39
add like terms
5+2y=39
subtract 5
2y=34
divide by 2
y=17
subsitute
x=5+y
x=5+17
x=22

the larger number is 22

Paul opens a savings account with $350. He saves $150 per month. Assume that he does not withdraw money or make any additional d
Verizon [17]
I believe the equation is y=350+150x with y being the total amount of money in his account and x being the number of months..Paul starts with $350, which is the y-intercept (starting value) of the equation then the slope is 150 because his total savings increases by $150 for every month he saves without making any withdrawals. I apologize if I'm wrong but I hope this helps.

Kate gave 5/6 of her CDs to Sue. Sue gave 7/8 of these to Joan. Joan gave 3/5 of these to Ann. Ann received 70 CDs how many did
olya-2409 [2.1K]
Let us assume the number of CDs Kate had = x
Number of CDs given to Sue = 5x/6
Number of CDs given to Joan = (5x/6) * ( 7/8)
                                                = 35x/48
Number of CDs given to Ann = (35x/48) * (3/5)
                                              = 7x/16
Total number of CDs Ann received = 70
Then
7x/16 = 70
x = 160
From the above deduction, it can be concluded that the number of CDs that Kate originally had was 160. I hope that this is the answer that has actually come to your help.

A bag of marbles contains 6 bluemarbles, 2 yeloow marbles, 4 red marbles, and 1 green marble. What is the [robability of reachin
irina [24]

Answer:

The probability of picking a yellow marble is 2/13

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all, we need to know the total number of marbles that are in the bag. To do this, we will have to add up all the marble colors together.

This will give us 6 + 2 +4+ 1 = 13 marbles in total.

The next step is to find the number of yellow marbles in the bag.

We can get this from the question. There are 2 yellow marbles in the bag.

The probability of selecting a yellow marble can be obtained by dividing the number of yellow marbles by the total number of marbles in the bag

This will give us 2/13.

Therefore, the probability of picking a yellow marble is 2/13
