Maggie would be 6
6•3=18
18-4=14
14+6=20
Y = kx
Plug in what we know:
5 = k(8)
5 = 8k
Divide 8 to both sides:
k = 0.625
Plug this back into the equation along with y = 15:
y = kx
15 = 0.625x
Divide 0.625 to both sides:
x = 24
Hello!
You can make two expressions based on what you know
let x equal the larger number
let y equal the smaller number
x + y = 95
x + 2y = 120
We can use elimination to get rid of x
You can subtract the two equation to get rid of x
-y = -25
Since y is negative we can multiply both sides by -1 to make y positive
y = 25
Now we can put this into one of the other equations to find x
x + 25 = 95
subtract 95 from both sides
x = 70
The answers are 70 and 25
Hope this helps!
