Answer:

Smaller number-47.5

Larger number-52.5

Step-by-step explanation:

We will make the smaller number x. If the smaller number is x, then the larger number will be equal to x+5. We also know that when we add the two numbers, we get 100. We can make the equation

x+x+5=100

100-5=95

2x=95

95/2=47.5

x=47.5

The smaller number equals 47.5 and the larger number is 47.5+5 which equals 52.5

Many has 48 feet of wood he wants to use all of it to create a border around a garden. The equation 2l+2w=48 can be used to find
lord [1]
2L + 2W = 48 

L= 15 feet

substitute the given value to the formula provided.

2(15) + 2W = 48

multiply 2 by 15

30 + 2W = 48

use the subtraction property of equality to cancel the value 30 on the left side. 

30 - 30 + 2W = 48 - 30

cancel 30 on the left side leaving 2W while subtract 30 from 48.

2W = 18

divide both sides to get the value of the width.

2W/2 = 18/2

W = 9ft     this is the final answer.

We have 500 grams of a 10% salt solution. How many grams of water must be added to dulite the solution to form a 4% solution. Sh
lys-0071 [83]
Hmm, one way is this
there's 500 times 0.10 or 50 grams of salt in the water
if we want to make 50 grams=4% of everything, how much water do we need to add

50=4% of all
50=0.04 of all
divide both sides by 0.04
1250=all
so
500+what=1250
minus 500 both sides
what=750

750 grams of water

Answer:

C. 4 weeks

Step-by-step explanation:

Trish and Aria are walking to raise money for the school library. Trish has walked 38 miles and walks 10 miles each week. Aria has walked 30 miles and walks 12 miles each week

After how many weeks will Trish and Aria have walked the same number of miles? A. 2 weeks B. 3 weeks C. 4 weeks D. 5 weeks

Trish = 38 + 10x

Aria = 30 + 12x

Where,

x = number of weeks

After how many weeks will Trish and Aria have walked the same number of miles?

Equate both equations

38 + 10x = 30 + 12x

38 - 30 = 12x - 10x

8 = 2x

x = 8/2

x = 4 weeks
