Answer: x = 0
Step-by-step explanation:
Take it slow and do one problem at a time. Multiply the first x by the second ( ) and then move on to -3
2x + 9x -3x -27 = -27
combine all like terms
8x - 27 = -27
add 27 to both sides
8x = 0
divide by 8 to get x alone
x = 0
The numbers are 1 and 18
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
Let the smaller number be "x"
Let the larger number be "y"
Given that smaller of two numbers is five less than
the larger number
smaller number = one - third of larger number - 5
![x = \frac{1}{3} \times y - 5\\\\x = \frac{y - 15}{3}\\\\](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=x%20%3D%20%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B3%7D%20%5Ctimes%20y%20-%205%5C%5C%5C%5Cx%20%3D%20%5Cfrac%7By%20-%2015%7D%7B3%7D%5C%5C%5C%5C)
3x = y - 15
y = 3x + 15 ------- eqn 1
Half the larger added to the smaller is 10
![\frac{1}{2}y + x = 10\\\\\frac{y + 2x}{2} = 10](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B2%7Dy%20%2B%20x%20%3D%2010%5C%5C%5C%5C%5Cfrac%7By%20%2B%202x%7D%7B2%7D%20%3D%2010)
y + 2x = 20 ------- eqn 2
Let us solve eqn 1 and eqn 2
Substitute eqn 1 in eqn 2
3x + 15 + 2x = 20
5x = 20 - 15
5x = 5
<h3>x = 1</h3>
From eqn 1,
y = 3(1) + 15 = 18
<h3>y = 18</h3>
Thus the numbers are 1 and 18
32,104 x 10? that equals 321,040
3 * 3 1/2 =
3 * 7/2 =
21/2 =
10 1/2 or 10.5 <==
To find the length, divide the peremiter by 2 and then subtract the width.
Length= Peremiter/2 - width
L = P/2 - W
L = 168/2 - 36
L = 84 - 36
L = 48
The length is 48
