Answer:
?
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
m + n = 15
m - 3 = n
The numbers are 9 and 6
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question,
The sum of two numbers is fifteen; the first number is m and the second number is n. To translate to a system of equations, we can write that
m + n = 15 ..... (1)
Also, from the question,
One number is three less than the other,
Also, to translate to a system of equations, we can write that
m - 3 = n ...... (2)
If desired, we can determine m and n
From equation (1)
m + n = 15
Then,
m = 15 - n ...... (3)
Put the value of m in equation (3) into equation (2)
m - 3 = n
Then
15 - n - 3 = n
15 - 3 = n + n
12 = 2n
n = 12/2
∴ n = 6
For m, put the value of n into equation 3
m = 15 - n
m = 15 - 6
m = 9
∴ m = 9 and n = 6
Hence, the numbers are 9 and 6
The other factor is eight because 9 multiplied by eight is 72 and a negative times a positive is a negative
Given number is 78/14.
We have to find two whole numbers between which given number 78/14 lies.
Let's convert that into mixed fraction.
To do that we divide 78 by 14 to find the quotient.
We see that 14 goes 5 times into 78 and leaves remainder of 8.
So we can rewrite 78/14 as 
.
means little more than 5 but less than 6.
So required two whole numbers are 5 and 6.
