Answer:

30 and 35

Step-by-step explanation:

Put this question into equation form:

Let x be the smaller number, if the larger number is 5 more and the total is 65:

x + 5 + x = 65

2x + 5 = 65

Subtract 5 from both sides

2x + 5 - 5 = 65 - 5

2x = 60

Divide both sides by 2:

2x ÷ 2 = 60 ÷ 2

x = 30

As the larger number is 5 bigger:

30 + 5 = 35

So the two numbers are 30 and 35.

Hope this helps!

Answer:

Small number 30

Large Number 35

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of x and y is 65. In other words, x plus y equals 65 and can be written as equation A:

x + y = 65

The difference between x and y is 5. In other words, x minus y equals 5 and can be written as equation B:

x - y = 5

Now solve equation B for x to get the revised equation B:

x - y = 5

x = 5 + y

Then substitute x in equation A from the revised equation B and then solve for y:

x + y = 65

5 + y + y = 65

5 + 2y = 65

2y = 60

y = 30

Now we know y is 30. Which means that we can substitute y for 30 in equation A and solve for x:

x + y = 65

x + 30 = 65

X = 35

Therefore the large and small number us 35 and 30 respectively.

Arrange the following polynomial into descending order for x, then interpret the degree of the 2nd term.
igor_vitrenko [27]
For the answer to the question above,  the power of "y" doesn't influence descending order for x even if it is higher than power of x.

Unordered polynomial is 
7x3y3 + 4 - 11x5y2 - 3x2y

Polynomial in descending order  looks like this
-11x5y2 + 7x3y3 - 3x2y + 4

Degree of the second term is 5 ( because of x5 )

Answer:

C, $4.47

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly you would see that the cost of 5.2 pounds of grapes is $7.75, so you would divide to find the cost of 1 pound of grapes so 7.75/5.2= 1.49 (round to the nearest 100). Then, times 1.49 by 3. Then you get $4.47
