Finding two numbers

Mathematics
1 answer:
kramer3 years ago

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

stiv31 [10]

Answer:

x = 112

Step-by-step explanation:

We can create two equations 1. one that calculates calories burned and 2.another that calculates minutes:

20*x + 5*y = 1200

x + y = 120

Then we can solve for x

x = 120 - y

then we can plug that into the top equation:

20(120 - y) + 5y = 1200

divide by 5:

4(120 - y) + y = 240

distribute:

480 - 4y + y = 240

and then do all that combining like factors what not and simplify and solve:

480 - 3y = 240

-3y = -240

y = 8

NOW WE CAN JUST PLUG IN THE ANSWER FOR Y TO FIND X

8+x =120

x = 112
