Answer:

9

Step-by-step explanation:

Let larger number be L

and

smaller number be S

The larger is 1 more than twice smaller, so we can write:

L = 1 + 2S

4 times larger is 9 times smaller, so we can write:

4L = 9S

Let's put 1st equation in 2nd and solve for S first:

4L = 9S

4(1 + 2S) = 9S

4 + 8S = 9S

S = 4

Now,

L = 1 + 2S

L = 1 + 2(4)

L = 9

The larger number is, thus, equal to 9

Bond [772]

Answer:

x = 0.2(10^y/a).

Step-by-step explanation:

y = alog(5x)

y = log(5x)^a)   By the definition of a log:

(5x)^a  = 10^y

5x = (10^y) ^ 1/a

x = 0.2(10^y/a)
