Answer: Small number = 15.
Larger number = 20
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the smaller number be x.
The larger of two numbers is five more than the smaller. Thus, the larger number is x+5.
Twice the larger is twenty less than four times the smaller. This can.be written as:
2(x + 5) = 4x - 20
2x + 10 = 4x - 20
2x - 4x = -20 - 10
-2x = -30
x = 30/2
x = 15
The smaller number is 15
Larger number = x + 5 = 15 + 5 = 20
Answer:
School X: 8 points School Y: 2.6̅ or 6 repeating.
Step-by-step explanation:
When you know that School X has <em>8 points</em>, and School Y has <em>3 times less</em>, you have to divide 8 by 3. When you do that, you get 2.6̅, or 2.6 repeating, which means that you have 2 that goes into 3 goes into 8 3 times, because 3 x 3 would be 9, which is bigger than 8. Anyway, when you divide again because you have to add a decimal point after the number to keep dividing, <em>you keep getting 6</em>. it's never going to change, because thats what 6̅ is. 6 REPEATING.
I hope this helps! ;)
Answer:
$ 404.17 every month
Step-by-step explanation:
$19,700/2 =$9,850
$9,850-$5,000= $4,850
$4,850/12 = $404.1666666666667
rounds to $ 404.17
630 red marbles
420 yellow marbles
210 purple marbles
because 1260 x 1/2 = 630, 1260 x 1/3 = 420, 1260 x 1/6 = 210
