Let x and y represent the smaller and larger numbers, respectively.
y - x = 5 . . . . . the difference is 5
3y = 4x + 6 . . 3 times the larger is 4 times the smaller plus 6
Add x to the first equation to get an expression for y.
y = x + 5
Use that in the second equation.
3(x + 5) = 4x + 6
3x + 15 = 4x + 6 . . . . . eliminate parentheses
9 = x . . . . . . . . . . . . . . add -3x-6
y = x+5 = 14
smaller number: 9
larger number: 14

Yes
bc they pan gemstones for money so it depends on how much they pan for
x = amount of 21% alloy
y = amount of 50% alloy
The metallurgist wants a combination weighing a total of 44 lb, so
x + y = 44
Each pound of either alloy contributes either 0.21 or 0.5 pound of titanium. The final product needs to be comprised of 37% titanium; weighing at 44 lb, this means it should contain 0.37 * 44 = 16.28 lb. So
0.21x + 0.5y = 16.28
From the first equation,
x + y = 44 ==> y = 44 - x
Substitute this into the second equation and solve for x:
0.21x + 0.5(44 - x) = 16.28
-0.29x = -5.72 ==> x = 19.72
Substitute this into the first equation to solve for y:
19.72 + y = 44 ==> y = 24.28
Answer:
2
Step-by-step explanation:
Because 3-1 is 2 and 1/4-1/4=0
So 2
