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!

damaskus [11]

Answer:

7 7/12 pounds of fruit

Step-by-step explanation:

First, add all of the whole numbers

2 + 1 + 3= 6 (save for later)

then find a common denominator between the fractions which is 12

1/3 = 4/12

5/6 = 10/12

4/12 + 10/12 + 5/12 = 19/12 or 1 7/12

now, add 1 7/12 + 6 to get you 7 7/12

Evaluate

SCORPION-xisa [38]

Value of the expression will be 7

Explanation

Given value of the variables are : $p= \frac{1}{2}$ and $q=7$

Given expression: $8p+3q-18$

So, plugging the values of $p$ and $q$ into the above expression, we will get...

$8p+3q-18\\ \\ = 8(\frac{1}{2})+3(7)-18\\ \\ =4 + 21-18\\ \\ =25-18\\ \\ =7$

So, the value of the expression will be 7.
