Answer:
The larger number is 37. This makes the smaller number 56 - 37, which is 19.
Step-by-step explanation:
The first step is to pick variables for the two numbers. Lets call the smaller number x and the larger number y.
Since the sum of the two numbers is 56, this means that x + y = 56. Let's call this equation 1 and save it for later.
The next sentence says:
The smaller number is 18 less than the larger number. So, 18 less than the larger number would be y - 18. So, the smaller number must be equal to this, so
x = y - 18
Replace the x in equation 1 with y - 18
x + y = 56
(y-18) + y = 56 (replace x with y-18)
2y - 18 = 56 (add the y's)
2y = 74 (add 18 to both sides)
y = 37 (divide both sides by 2)
So, the larger number is 37. This makes the smaller number 56 - 37, which is 19.
Hope this helps!! :)
Well think about it. If you divide by something less than 1, your number gets bigger.

Same thing when it's negative, except now the answer is negative. So, if x gets really close to 0, it will be very big, or a big negative number. Remember, "getting close to 0" could mean from the negative side just as well from the positive.
Answer:
ANSWER: she worked 11 hours at the fast food restaurant and 5 hours helping her aunt
Step-by-step explanation:
First we are going to try to find how many hours she worked on the fast food restaurant so you multiply 4.25 time 16 and x
10.50x + 4.25(16-x) =136.75
10.50x + 68 - 4.25x= 136.75
Then, you subtract 68 from both sides and subtract 4.25x from 10.50x
6.25x=68.75
Divide
X=11 that is how many hours she worked at the FAST FOOD RESTAURANT
Then 16-11 and that gives us how many hours she helped her aunt.
Answer:
<em> Anna's wand can cast 70 spells</em>
<em></em>
Step-by-step explanation:
Elsa's wand can cast 53 spells
her wand casts 17 fewer cells than her sister Anna's
Amount of spells cast by Anna's wand = ?
We write the question down in the form of an equation

where
is the amount of spells Anna's wand can cast.
we then proceed to solve by collecting like terms to different sides of the equation. We'll have

which leaves us with

This means that<em> Anna's wand can cast 70 spells.</em>
