If the first number is 100 then the second number is 50 and the sum is 150.
If the second number is 100 then the first number is 200 and the sum is 300.
The question cannot be answered with one solution as it is currently worded.
Let's call the larger number 2x+3 and the smaller number x: 2x+3+x = 36 2x+x = 36-3 3x = 33 x = 11 So: 2*11+3 = 25 which is the value of the larger number.
The first has half the wavelength of the second
There are two possible (and different) answers: 2x + 3y = 12 or 2*(x + 3y)= 12 The first one is (twice a number) increased by (three times another) The second is twice (a number increased by (three times another)).
Let the first number be x, the second number be 3x and the third number be 6x-9: x+3x+6x-9 = 101 10x = 101+9 10x = 110 x = 11 So the numbers are: 1st = 11, 2nd = 33 and the 3rd = 57
Odds of rolling seven once (2 dice) is 1:6, twice in a row, odds are 1:36. The reason is- the first die can be any number, but the second die must be a particular number. For example, if the first die is 6, then the second die has to be 1 to make 7. When an event occurs twice, and the two events are unrelated, then you can multiply the odds together= 1/6 * 1/6 = 1/36.
This can easily be solved using algebra. First, translate the meaning of the sentence into an algebraic equation.supposing x is the number,-15 + 3 = 2(x)-12 = 2xx = -6
Let's call the larger number 2x+3 and the smaller number x: 2x+3+x = 36 2x+x = 36-3 3x = 33 x = 11 So: 2*11+3 = 25 which is the value of the larger number.
x2 - 15 = 2x x2 - 2x - 15 = 0 x2 - 2x - 15 = (x - 5)(x + 3) x = 5, -3
Your grandmother's second cousin is also your second cousin, but twice removed. The twice removed means the number of generations between you. Your mother's first cousin is your first cousin once removed. If your mother's first cousin has children, they are your second cousins.
Let the numbers be x and y If: x+2y = 3 and 2x+y = 27 Then the simultaneous equations work out as: x = 17 and y = -7
