Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the two numbers be 2x and 3x.
According to the question,
2x+3x=45
5x=45
x=45/5
x=9
so th required numbers are 18 and 27 as
2x=2*9=18
3x=3*9=27
You need two pieces and 1 has to be 2x longer than the other
set x as the smaller piece (easier to always go with the smaller value as x)
the other piece is 2x (double in size)
your equations would be 3x=240>>> x= 60
so smaller piece/ x= 60
bigger piece/ 2x= 120
Please show all of the expressions.
A + (-5) = -12
First isolate your variable so move the -5 over (by adding 5 to both sides)
Then you will have a = -12+5
Simplify and you get A= -7
