The sum of two numbers is 26. The first number is two more than 5 times the second number. What are
the two numbers? Define your variables. Write two equations and then solve. Be sure to write your
answer in a complete sentence!

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Let us assume the two numbers be x and y  

From the above condition we can write, x + y = 26 equation 1  

second condition first no x = 2 more 5 times of the second no. that is 5y + 2  

                  then  we can write,               x = 5y + 2..... eqation (2)

  from equation 1  x + y = 26  

                        subtracting y from each side ,     x+ y - y = 26 - y  

                                                                            x = 26 - y  

                             plugging this value of x in eqn. no (2 )  we get,

                                                                   26-y = 5y + 2  

                                                  subtracting 5y on both sides,

                                                                   26 - y - 5y = 5y - 5y + 2  

                                                                    26 - 6y = 2  

                                                  subtracting 26 from both sides,  

                                                              26 -26 -6y = 2- 26  

                                                                          -6y = -24  

                                                eliminating minus sign from both sides,

                                                                            6y = 24  

                                                   dividing by 6 on both sides,

                                                                           y = 24/6 = 4  

                                         substituting this value of y in equation 1 we get,  

                                                                          x + 4 = 26  

                                                       subtracting 4 from both sides,

                                                                             x = 26- 4 = 22

Step-by-step explanation:

so we solve the 2 eqns we get x = 22 and y = 4  

the two numbers will be 22 and 4

What is the result when the number 40 is decreased by 50%

Answers

Answer:

20

Step-by-step explanation:

40 x 50% = 20

So 50% of 40 equals to 20. Now, since it says decreased by 50%, we have to subtract 20 from 40 because we already know that 20 is the 50%. So 40 - 20 gives you 20.

Find two consecutive odd integers such that
4 times the smaller integer is 19 less than 5
times the larger integer.

Answers

Answer:

9 and 11

Step-by-step explanation:

let the consecutive odd integers be n and n + 2 , then

4n = 5(n + 2) - 19 , that is

4n = 5n + 10 - 19 ( subtract 5n from both sides )

- n = - 9 ( multiply both sides by - 1 )

n = 9 and n + 2 = 9 + 2 = 11

The 2 integers are 9 and 11

Rosemarie has 16 grandchildren and they will each get 0.50 cents

Answer:

a. Rosemarie has 16 grandchildren.

b. Each grandchild would receive $0.50 or 50 cents.

Step-by-step explanation:

a. There are 4 sons, and each son has 4 children.

Son 1: 4 children

Son 2: 4 children

Son 3: 4 children

Son 4: 4 children

So you can find the total number of grandchildren by adding up the amount of children each of the sons have: 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 = 16

Rosemarie has 16 grandchildren.

b. If the are $8 total, and it is split equally between Rosemarie's sons, it means each son would get $2 (because $8 / 4 sons = 2).

And then each son would split it between his 4 kids. So $2 / 4 kids = $0.50

Each grandchild would receive $0.50 or 50 cents.

Find the value of x.

Answers

Answer:

x = 13

Step-by-step explanation:

Sum or interior angles of a triangle is 180,

6x + 19 + 5x - 15 + 3x - 6 = 180

6x + 5x + 3x + 19 - 15 - 6 = 180

14x + 19 - 21 = 180

14x - 2 = 180

14x = 180 + 2

14x = 182

x = 182 / 14

x = 13
