Answer:

\huge\boxed{\tt{x = 24, y = 17}}

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the greater number be x and the smaller number be y.

So,

<u>Condition # 1:</u>

x - y = 7 --------------(1)

<u>Condition # 2:</u>

3x = 72 --------------(2)

Taking Eq. (2)

3x = 72

Divide both sides by 3

x = 72 / 3

x = 24

Now, Put x = 24 in Eq. (1)

24 - y = 7

Subtract 24 to both sides

-y = 7 - 24

-y = -17

y = 17

\rule[225]{225}{2}

Hope this helped!

1. Separate the number 58 into three parts so
Anika [276]

Answer:

2nd number = 13

First number = 15

3rd number = 30

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

2nd number = 1/2x - 2

First number = 1/2x

3rd number = x

Total = 58

x + 1/2x + 1/2x - 2 = 58

x + x+x/2 = 58 + 2

x + 2/2x = 60

x + x = 60

2x = 60

x = 60/2

= 30

x = 30

2nd number = 1/2x - 2

= 1/2*30 - 2

= 15 - 2

= 13

First number = 1/2x

= 1/2*30

= 15

3rd number = x

= 30

Six friends each use a $2-off coupon to buy themselves a movie ticket. They spend a total of $42. What is the price of one movie
andrey2020 [161]

Answer:

$9

Step-by-step explanation:

1.) First, divide 42 by 6 since there are six people and the total is $42.

42/6 = 7

2.) Now, add $2 to 7 since 7  was the price of the movie ticket AFTER the $2  were taken off of it

x = 7+2x=9

4.) So, one movie ticket (x) = $9
