Answer: The numbers are 10 and 23
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the smaller number be x
And the larger number be y
Ist sentence;
1. The sum of two numbers is 33.
X + y= 33 .........eqn 1
2. second sentence
the larger number is 3 more than two times the smaller number.
Y = 3 +2x
Put y into eqn 1
X+ 3 +2x = 33
3x= 33- 3
3x= 30
X = 30/3
X= 10 and y= 3+ 2x
Y= 3+ 2(10)
Y = 3+ 20
Y= 23
Therefore the two numbers are 10 and 23
For this equation after the substitution you will get y=-1.
Answer:
b
Step-by-step explanation:
3/k+3=8/k-2
butterfly (multiply 8 and k+3) and (multiply 3 and k-2) and set them = to eachother
8 (k+3)=3 (k-2)
distribute
8k+24=3k-6
-3k both sides
5k+24=-6
-24 both sides
5k=-30
÷5 both sides
k=-6
