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!

If you ride your bike 12 miles per hour, how long would it take<br> you to travel 72 miles ?
poizon [28]

Answer:

It would take 6 hours for you to travel 72 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

This question can be solved by a simple rule of three.

We have that:

Each hour, you ride 12 miles.

How many hours will take for you to travel 72 miles?

So:

1 hour - 12 miles

x hours - 72 miles

12x = 72

x = 72/12

x = 6

It would take 6 hours for you to travel 72 miles.
