Using x and y as the numbers
x+y=25 -------#1
x-y=9 -------#2
Using addition of #1 and #2
x+y+x-y= 25+9
2x+0y=34
2x=34
x=17
Using the value of x and plugging said value into #1 or #2, we can find y
x=17
x+y=25
17+y=25
y=8
OR
x-y=9
17-y=9
-y=-8
y=8
The numbers are 8 and 17
Let x be the <span>heights of a maple tree and y be the height of the cherry tree.
We know:
</span>

<span>The new ratio is obtained like this:
</span>

.
From the above equation we get

.
then

Solving the above equation for y we get:

So
So the first tree is (400-160=240) more taller than cherry tree.
Answer: C $1.51
To solve this, start with a proportion. Put the CPI numbers on the left and the apple juice prices on the right.
You will have:
82.4/130.7 = 0.95/x
Cross multiply to solve and you will get the price of the juice is $1.51.
The output is -20 to this question
<h2>Answer: </h2>
I will use 6 cups of oats and 1 cup of honey to make 12 cups of granula
.
<h3>Explanation:
</h3>
Let x be the number of cups of oats and let y be the number of cups of honey. Given statement can be expressed in fractions as
½ x / ¼ y = 12
4x/2y = 12
2x/y = 12
x/y = 12/2 = 6/1
x=6, y=1
Therefore number of cups of oats = x = 6 cups
Number of cups of honey = y = 1 cup
