The two number are 39 and 13
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
Let the two numbers be "a" and "b"
Let the larger number be "a" and the smaller number be "b"
<em><u>Given that, sum of two numbers is 52</u></em>
a + b = 52 ---------- eqn 1
<em><u>One number is 3 times as large as the other number</u></em>
Larger number = 3 times smaller number
a = 3b -------- eqn 2
<em><u>Let us solve eqn 1and eqn 2</u></em>
<em><u>Substitute eqn 2 in eqn 1</u></em>
3b + b = 52
4b = 52
b = 13
<em><u>Substitute b = 13 in eqn 2</u></em>
a = 3(13)
a = 39
Thus the two number are 39 and 13
Answer:
Option C is correct.
Step-by-step explanation:
Number of students of Deerlake middle school that voted = 442
Percentage of student that voted = 76%
Let x be the total number of student.
According to the Question,



Therefore, Option C is correct.
<span>2/3 (x-7)= -2
x - 7 = -2 * 3/2
x - 7 = -3
x = -3 + 7
x = 4</span>
Answer:
<em>- 1/2 (or - 0.5) </em>
Step-by-step explanation:
so first, simplify by combining like terms.
so 8w-6w = 2w
so now we have
2w - 8 = 4w - 7
now we have to get the w's to one side of the equation so we can solve for it. so that mean we have to subtract 2w from both sides. 2w - 2w is 0. and then 4w - 2w = 2w. so now we have
-8 = 2w - 7
then to slowly start isolating w, add 7 to both sides of th equation. so now its
-1 = 2w
finally to get w by itself divide 2 from both sides.
and the answer is
-
= w
