stellarik [79]2 years ago

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

Let the smaller number be x and the larger number be 2x+1.

According to the question,

The sum of the numbers is 20 less than three

times the larger.

i.e x + (2x+1)= 3*(2x+1) - 20

or, x + 2x +1 = 6x + 3 -20

or, 3x + 1 = 6x - 17

or, 3x = 18

or x= 18/3

x = 6

And 2x+1 = 2*6+1 = 13.

Therefore the smaller number is 6 and larger number is 13.

Hope it helps!

Given:
Cost of dishwasher : 315 before sales tax
sales tax : 9.22%

Total cost = 315 * 1.0922 = 344.043

Average of 10 uses per week for the next 6 years before replacing it.
There are 52 weeks in a year.

10 uses per week * 52 weeks per year * 6 years = 3120 average uses
