<span>Let x=smaller number
Then x+5=larger number
Now we are told the following:
1/5(x+x+5)=x-5 multiply each side by 5
x+x+5=5x-25 subtract 5x and also 5 from both sides
x+x+5-5-5x=5x-5x-25-5 collect like terms
</span><span>-3x=-30 divide both sides by -3
x=10 smaller number
x+5=10+5=15 larger number
CK
1/5(10+15)=10-5
1/5(25)=10-5
5=5 </span>
Answer:
60 minutes is 20% of 300 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
let x be the number of total minutes
60 = 20% of x
20% = 1/5
60 = 1/5x
multiply both sides by 5
300 = x
x = 300 minutes
