set up an equation. x+y=104. we'll say the larger number is y and the smaller number is x. y= 2x-1 (the larger number is 1 less than twice the smaller number.) substitute y into the original equation x+y=104. x+2x-1=104. add 1 to both sides. x+2x=105. add x+2x together. 3x=105. Divide 3 on both sides. x=35. plug that into the original x+y=104. 35+y=104. subtract 35 from both sides. y=69. You two numbers are: 35 and 69.
Let's call the smaller number x and the larger number y. We can set up two equations based on the given information: x + y = 104 and y = 2x - 1. We can substitute the second equation into the first equation to solve for x: x + (2x - 1) = 104. Simplifying this equation, we find that x = 35. Therefore, the smaller number is 35 and the larger number is 69.
The numbers are: 48+22 = 70
Let x = the smaller number2x + 4 = the larger numberx + 2x + 4 = 703x + 4 = 703x = 66x = 22 = the smaller number
The two numbers are 15 and 31. 15 + 31 = 46.
There are two consecutive odd numbers such that five times the smaller plus twice the greater is 25. What is the smaller number?
One number is 7, the other is 14. 7 + 14 = 21 4(7) = 2(14)
16.5
Smaller number = x Larger number = 2x x+2x=18. 3x=18 x=6 The numbers are 6 and 12.
The numbers are: 48+22 = 70
Let x = the smaller number2x + 4 = the larger numberx + 2x + 4 = 703x + 4 = 703x = 66x = 22 = the smaller number
If the larger number can be anything more than twice the smaller number, then the two numbers can be:1 + 45 = 463 + 43 = 465 + 41 = 467 + 39 = 469 + 37 = 4611 + 35 = 4613 + 33 = 4615 + 31 = 46
The two numbers are 15 and 31. 15 + 31 = 46.
18 and 38
18 and 38
The smaller number is 8, and the larger one is 21. 8 + 13 = 21 8 + 21(2) = 50
The larger number is 48, the smaller number is 22. 48 is twice the amount of 22 plus 4. If the smaller number is "x" then the larger number is 2x+4. We know that x+2x+4 =70 which ius the same as saying 3x+4 = 70 or 3x = 70-4 = 66 so x, the smaller number is 66/3 =22
There are two consecutive odd numbers such that five times the smaller plus twice the greater is 25. What is the smaller number?
The sum of the sum and difference gives twice the larger number 14 + 4 = 18 → the larger number is 18 ÷ 2 = 9 The difference of the sum and the difference gives twice the smaller number 14 - 4 = 10 → the smaller number is 10 ÷ 2 = 5 → The two numbers are 9 and 5.
