Let x represent the smaller number and 4x the larger number and set up the equation: x + 4x = -15 (simplify the equation) 5x = -15 (divide both sides by 5 and solve for x) x = -3 (the smaller number) the larger number: 4x = 4(-3) = -12 the sum of the two numbers: -3 + (-12) = -15
The larger of two numbers is 8 more than 4 times the smaller if the larger number is increased by four times the smaller the result is 40. From this statement, we can calculate the values of the numbers where you get the value of the larger number to be 24 and that of the smaller number to be 4.
one number is 4 less than eleven times another the sum of the two numbers is 92. Find the numbers.
The larger number is 12.
Yes, when any number is multiplied by a decimal, as long as the decimal is less than 1, the product is smaller that that number (assuming we are just dealing with positive numbers) An example is 5 times .4, which equals 2. 2 is less than 5. Another example, this time where both numbers are decimals, is .3 times .1 which equals .03. .03 is smaller that both .3 and .1. The reason it gets smaller is because by multiplying by a decimal, you are trying to get a fraction of the number, which will always be less than that number. For example, 3 times .5 = 1.5. Here, the result is a fraction (1/2) of three.
The numbers are 9 and 45. a = 5b a - 18 = 3b which becomes a = 3b + 18 Therefore: 5b = 3b + 18 18 = 2b b = 9 a = 45

There are two consecutive odd numbers such that five times the smaller plus twice the greater is 25. What is the smaller number?
12 and 28
The sum of the numbers is 240. If one number is 5 times as big as the other then 240 must be divided by 6. 240/6 = 40. The smaller number must be this while the larger number is 5 times the size. Small number = 40 Larger number = 40 * 5 = 200
"The sum of a number and three times another number is 18. find the numbers if their product is a maximum?"
one number is 4 less than eleven times another the sum of the two numbers is 92. Find the numbers.
(-8,1)
The larger number is 12.
101 and 26
The smaller number must be a third of the total, so the numbers are 13 & 26.
