Step-by-step explanation:
x - y + 5z = 29
y + 2z = 4
z = 7
since z = 7 we can use this value in second equation
y + 2×7 = 4 and y = -10
now we know the value of y we can solve the first equation
x -(-10) + 5×7 = 29
x + 10 + 35 = 29
x = -11
Turn the percentage into a decimal
30% = 0.3
Multiply.
80 * 0.3 = 24
Best of Luck!
You want to know the factor by which 3 2/3 is multiplied to get 7 1/3.
1. You can estimate that it is 2 from 7/3 ≈ 2, then check by multiplication to see if that is right.
.. 2*(3 2/3) = 6 4/3 = 7 1/3 . . . . 2 is the correct factor.
2. You can divide 7 1/3 by 3 2/3 to see what the factor is.
.. (7 1/3)/(3 2/3) = (22/3)/(11/3) = 22/11 = 2 . . . . 2 is the factor Earl used.
3. You could see how many times you can subtract 3 2/3 from 7 1/3.
.. 7 1/3 -3 2/3 = (7 -3) +(1/3 -2/3) = 4 -1/3 = 3 2/3 . . . . . subtracting once gives 3 2/3
.. 3 2/3 -3 2/3 = 0 . . . . . . subtracting twice gives 0, so the factor is 2.
4. You could add 3 2/3 to see how many times it takes to get 7 1/3.
.. 3 2/3 +3 2/3 = (3 +3) +(2/3 +2/3) = 6 +4/3 = 7 1/3
We only need to add two values of 3 2/3 to get 7 1/3, so the factor is 2.

Answer:
one number= x = 44
the other number= (x-4)= 40
Step-by-step explanation:
one number= x
the other number= (x-4)
x + (x-4) = 84
2x= 84+4
2x= 88
x= 88/2= 44
one number= x = 44
the other number= (x-4)= 40
