Finding two numbers

Mathematics
1 answer:
kramer2 years ago
4 0

Answer:

the larger number is 39 and the smaller is 35

Step-by-step explanation:

let the larger number be x and the smaller number be y

the larger number is 4 more than the smaller : x = y+ 4

the sum of the numbers is 74 : x+y = 74

knowing that x= y+4; (y+4)+y = 74

y+4+y=74

collect like terms : y+y=74-4

2y=70

y=70/2 ; y=35

substitute y=35 into (x=y+4)

X=35+4, x=39

Can someone explain how this works and help me to find the answer?

470 = 8.75(46 - c) + 11c
470 = 402.5 - 8.75c + 11c
67.5 = 2.25c
30 = c

If c = 30 and Soren worked 30 hours in the office, earning $11 per hour, he earns $330 from his office job. 46 - 30 = 16, which should be the remaining amount of hours Soren worked. 16 * 8.75 = 140. He earned $140 from his cashier job. $330 + $140 = $470.

The correct formula to solve this problem is A. 11c + 8.75(46 - c) = 470

Nuts.com sells raw almonds for $10 per pound and roasted pistachios for $12 per pound. Christopher spends $70, before taxes and
sp2606 [1]

Christopher purchased 2.8 pounds of almonds and 3.5 pounds to roasted pistachios.

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost of almonds per pound = $10

Cost of roasted pistachios = $12

Total amount spent = $70

Weight of nuts = 6.3

Let,

Weight of almonds = x

Weight of roasted pistachios = y

According to given statement;

x+y=6.3   Eqn 1

10x+12y=70   Eqn 2

Multiplying Eqn 1 by 10

10(x+y=6.3)\\10+10y=63\ \ \ Eqn\ 3

Subtracting Eqn 3 from Eqn 2;

(10x+12y)-(10x+10y)=70-63\\10x+12y-10x-10y=7\\2y=7

Dividing both sides by 2

\frac{2y}{2}=\frac{7}{2}\\y=3.5

Putting y=3.5 in Eqn 1

x+3.5=6.3\\x=6.3-3.5\\x=2.8

Christopher purchased 2.8 pounds of almonds and 3.5 pounds to roasted pistachios.
