Add up all the numbers together
it’ll give you 17
since they’re asking abt the probability of a purple being chosen twice, multiply 5 by 2 to give you 10
so 10/17
Take first number as x
<span />second number is 3x
<span />third number = 3x+5
<span>
</span>
<span>
</span>
twice the third is 5 less than second, means second minus 2 times third is equal to five or 3x-2(3x+5)=5..........Answer is D
Answer: 35 and 27
Step-by-step explanation:
We can solve this by using a system of equations
x will be the first number while y will be the second

This equation means the two numbers will add to get 62

This equation means when subtracted the two numbers will have the difference of 8.
Now I will solve by elimination

When adding the two equations why was eliminated so now we can find the value of x

Now sub in x into one of the original equations to find the value of y

We multiply by 4 to go from a denominator of 7 to 28 so we must do that do the numerator as well:

Answer: 8/28
