Answer:
Smaller number: 12
Larger number: 34
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the smaller number.
Let 3x - 2 represent the larger number (The larger number is two less than three times the smaller number, or x)
x + 3x -2 = 46
Add 3x + x:
4x - 2 = 46
Add 2 to both sides:
4x = 46 + 2
Add 46 + 2:
4x = 48
Divide both sides by 4:
4x/4 = 48/4
x = 12 is the smaller number
Since 12 is the smaller number, and the sum of the two numbers is 46, than the larger number must be 34.

I’m not very caught up with this stuff I feel your pain I’m very sorry if I’m wrong =/
10?
+8y and -8y cross out.
So the first one is 3x=15
Second one is 2x=10
x=5
Then plug x is one of the equations
2(5)-8y=10
10-8y=10
x=5
y=0
Answer:
The decimal number is 0.964
Step-by-step explanation:
we have
step 1
Multiply each fraction by the whole number
step 2
Convert each fraction in a decimal number
Remember
Move the decimal point to the left as many places as there are zeros in the factor.
Move the decimal point one step to the left (10 has one zero).
Move the decimal point two steps to the left (100 has two zeros)
Move the decimal point three steps to the left (1000 has three zeros)
step 3
Adds the number
