The difference between two numbers is 8. Twice the number is 4 more than the larger number. What is the smaller number?

Answer:

If the two numbers are x and y, then:

x + y = 8

18 - 2x = 4y - 2.

When we subtract y from both sides in our first equation we get:

x = 8 - y, so:

18 - 2(8 - y) = 4y - 2

18 - 16 + 2y = 4y - 2

2 + 2y = 4y - 2

2y = 4

y = 2

Since x + y = 8, and y = 2, x = 6, and since 6 > 2, the larger number is 6.

Julli [10]

Answer:

14 ounces of blue paint

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of blue to yellow is 2:7

To solve this problem we can make a proportion:

2/7=x/49

the numerator represents the blue paint, the denominator represents the yellow paint

To solve the proportion you have to cross multiply:

2*49=7*x

x=14

She needs to add 14 oz of blue paint

I hope this helps :)

You would take the amount of increase and divide it by the amount of total cost over the time period of certain months. Then you would multiply that number by the percentage of increase gained, and subtract 96.12 to get your answer.
