Hey there! I'm happy to help!
Let's call these numbers x and y and model the information we have.
x=1/5y
y-x=228 (we see that x is smaller than y in the first equation, so we put it second )
We see that x is equal to 1/5y. We can switch the x in the second equation with 1/5y and solve for y.
y-1/5y=228
4/5y=228
We divide both sides by 4/5.
y=285
We know that x is 1/5 of y, so we divide by 5.
285/5=57
x=57
So, our numbers are 57 and 285.
Have a wonderful day! :D
Answer:
brainiest give promise
Step-by-step explanation:
27.9 pounds
24.37 + 3.53 = 27.9
<span>To answer this question, you need to multiply the number inside the bracket first. Then you can move the number to the right side of the equal sign and keep the x on the left side of the equal sign. The step would be like this
2(x – 5) - 6x= -22
(2x - 10) - 6x = -22
2x - 6x = -22 +10
-4x= -12
x= -12/-4
x=3</span>

Answer:
The principal amont was $35,000
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a simple interest problem.
The simple interest formula is given by:
In which E are the earnings, P is the principal(the initial amount of money), I is the interest rate(yearly, as a decimal) and t is the time.
In this problem, we have that:
We want to find P. So
The principal amont was $35,000
