Answer:

the numbers are 67 and 14

Step-by-step explanation:

let the other number be x

first number = 5x - 3

second number = x

5x - 3 + x = 81

6x = 81 +3

6x = 84

x = 84/6

x = 14

first number = 5x -3

                    = 5(14) -3

                    = 70 - 3

                    = 67

Second number = x

                          = 14

CROSS-CHECK

67 + 14

= 81

Landon scored an 85% on his test. If he got 34 problems correct, how many were on the test?
Sergeu [11.5K]

Answer:

There are 40 problems on the test

Step-by-step explanation:

Let p = the number of problems on the test

The number of problems on the test times the percent correct is the number correct

p * 85% = 34

p * .85 = 34

Divide each side by .85

p * .85/.85 = 34/.85

p = 40

There are 40 problems on the test

It takes 15 electricians 24 days to wire a new housing subdivision. how many days would 18 electricians require to do the same j
Romashka [77]
15 electricians worked for 24 days to the whole job, now, there are 15 of them, so on any given day, each electrician worked one whole day, in 24 days, that one electrician worked 24 days total.

now, there were 15 electricians on any given day though, since each one of them worked the whole day that one day, so the "days work worth" on a day is 15, so the house gets 15days worth of work because of that.

so how many "days worth" did all 15 do on the 24 days, well, 15+15+15+15+15+15+15+15+15+15+15+15+15+15+15+15+15+15+15+15+15+15+15+15, namely 15 * 24, or 360 days worth of work.

since it takes 360 days worth of work to do the whole wiring, in how many days would 18 electricians do it?   360/18.

Half of your baseball card collection got wet and was ruined. You bought 18 cards to replace some that were lost. How many did y
postnew [5]
1. Let x be the original amount of baseball cards,
2. half of x was lost so x divided by 2.
3. you buy 18 cards to replace some that were lost
4. You can find the awnser by subtracting 18 from 30, which is 12.
5. Now lets remember that half of your cards were lost. meaning that 12 is only half of what you started with.
6. 12 times 2 would be 24.
7. The Awnser is 24
8. To check your work, you can say x=24, 24 divided by 2 is 12, and 12 plus 18 is 30.
