5 times the smaller number of two consecutive numbers is added to 3 times the bigger, the result is 579. find the smaller number

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: Give the smaller number a name. Call it ' Q '.
The numbers are consecutive, so the larger number is (Q + 1) .

Five times the smaller number is 5Q .
Three times the bigger number is 3(Q+1) = 3Q+3 .

The problem says that when you add all this up ... 5Q + (3Q+3) ... you get 579.

5Q + 3Q + 3 = 579

Clean up the left side:

8Q + 3 = 579

Subtract 3 from each side:

8Q = 576

Divide each side by 8 :

Q = 72

The smaller number is 72, and the larger number is 73.

Answers

There is 192 ounces in the cat. I know this because 1 pound = 16 ounces, so 16 x 12 = 192.
The cat will weigh 201 ounces. So there are 16 ounces in a pound so you muliply 16x12= 192 but, the cat doesnt just weigh 12 pounds. You have to add another 9 ounces to the 192. And thats how you get your answer

Create an equation that models the annual salary needed to live in the city in a given year.

Answers

Answer:

S = 50000 + 1000Y

S= 45000[1+(5)/(100) ]^(Y)

Step-by-step explanation:

The initial annual salary of an employee is $50000 per year and the company gives $1000 raises each year.

So, the equation that models the annual salary is given by  

S = 50000 + 1000Y

Where S is the yearly salary and Y is the number of years.

Again, the annual salary needed to live in the city is $45000 when one starts his job and is increasing 5% each year.

So, the equation that models the annual salary is given by

S= 45000[1+(5)/(100) ]^(Y)

Where S is the annual salary and Y is the number of years.
