Answer:
x = 18 y = 10
Step-by-step explanation:
let the first number be x
let the second number be y
x = y + 8..... equation 1
2x + y = 46.... equation 2
x is the larger number
y is the smaller number.
Rearrange the equation and add equation 1 to equation 2.
x - y = 8
+ 2x + y = 46
-------------------
3x + 0 = 54
3x = 54
divide both sides by 3
x = 54/3
x = 18
Substitute x = 18 into equation 1
x = y + 8
18 = y + 8
collect like terms
y = 18-8
y = 10
Answer:
14.7%
Step-by-step explanation:
82/12 = 100/x
x= 14.7
- What is
? Explain it.
Combine y and 3y to get 4y.
Add 0 and 24 to get 24.
Divide both sides by 4.
Divide 24 by 4 to get 6.
