Answer:
The larger of the two is 44.67
Step-by-step explanation:
let the first number=x
let the second number=y
We can derive a system of equations using the mathematical statements
Their sum is 33:
x+y=33( call this equation 1)
Sum of first number and four times the second is -2:
x+4y=-2(call this equation 2)
Since the integer coefficients of x in both equations are the same we can quickly subtract one from the other to eliminate it
For this explanation, I choose to subtract equation 1 from 2
(x+4y=-2)-(x+y=33)=3y=-35
y=-35/3
Now plug in the value of y into any equation for that of x. Say we plug into equation 1
x+(-35/3)=33
x-35/3=33( multiply through by 3)
3x-35=99
3x=99+35
3x=134
x=134/3
Therefore,x=134/3 or 44.67 and y=-35/3 or -11.67
Answer:
My bid was $42 less than the winning bid.
Step-by-step explanation:
The winning bid is x.
$28 is 40% of x
0.4x = 28
x = 28/0.4
x = 70
The winning bid was $70.
$70 - $28 = $42
Answer: My bid was $42 less than the winning bid.
Answer:
false because rounding it will not show the exact number
17+26 is different from 36+53 by if you add 17+26 the sum would be 43. And if you add 36+53 the sum would also be 89. So that means the way how they are different is that the 17+26 and 36+53 has different kinds of sums. They have different kinds of sums because you are different numbers.
