Difference of numbers. The larger of two integers is 8 less than twice the smaller. When the smaller number is subtracted from the larger, the difference is 17. Find the two numbers.

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: let's call the numbers x (the bigger) and y (the smaller)

The larger of two integers is 8 less than twice the smaller. this means:

x=2z-8
When the smaller number is subtracted from the larger, the differenceis 17.

This means: x-z=17.


i'll insert

2z-8

instead of x, since it's equal to it: 
2z-8-z=17

2z-z is just z:
z-8=17

so

z=25.
and x must be 25+17=42

let's check:The larger of two integers is 8 less than twice the smaller.
twice the smaller is 50, and yes, 42 is 8 smaller than 50, it's correct!

so the two numbers are 25 and 42

Simplify: 8x - 6(5x + 6)

Answers

Answer:

-22x-36

Step-by-step explanation:

-6 x 5x = -30x

-6 x 6 =-36

8x - 30x - 36

8x - 30x = - 22x

So, it's -22x - 36.

Answer:

-22 x- 36

Step-by-step explanation:

8x - 6(5x + 6)

-6× 5x= -30x

-6 × 6= -36

8x -30x - 36

-22x - 36

If Jimmy has 530 pieces of paper and Kit comes along and gives him 18 times as much, how many pieces of paper Jimmy have? And if Kit takes 23 pieces away how much does Jimmy have now?

Answers

Answer:

10,070 and 10,047 pieces respectively

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we have 2 questions to answer.

Firstly, we are told that Jimmy has 530 pieces of paper and kit comes along to give him 18 times as much, we need to know how much he has now.

Since he was given 18 times as much, the amount given would be 18 * 530 = 9,540

The amount he has now would be 9,540 + 530 = 10,070 paper pieces

Secondly, Kim comes along to take 23 pieces away, we need to know how much pieces he has now. What to do is simply to

Subtract 23 from the previous pieces = 10,070 - 23 = 10,047 pieces of paper
