Let the smaller number = X
Then the larger number is 3x+4 ( four more than 3 times the smaller number)
The sum of both numbers = 80
so you have X + 3X+4 = 80
Simplify the left side:
4x+4 = 80
Subtract 4 from each side:
4x = 76
Divide both sides by 4:
X = 76/4
X = 19
The smallest number is 19
The largest number is 80 - 19 = 61 ( check: 3*19 = 57+4 = 61)
The two numbers are 19 and 61
Answer:is this a real quistion
Step-by-step explanation:?
| x - 8| = 3
x - 8 = 3 - (x - 8) = 3
x = 3 + 8 -x + 8 = 3
x = 11 -x = 3 - 8
-x = - 5
x = 5
Minimum : 5% Maximum : 11% if u need them added it is 16%
You didn't say if the car bought is the new car or the old car so I'm assuming the car bought for $22,500 is the new car.
You divide 22,500 by 2 to get the cost of the old car. When you do this, you find out the old car costed $11,250.
the equation is 22,500/2=p
If $22,500 is the cost of the old car, then it's not my fault that the poster did not make it clear. If the previous car costed $22,500, then the previous car costed $22,500
