One number is five more than another, and their sum is three less than three times the smaller. Find the numbers.If x represents the smaller number, which equation could be used to solve for X?
x2 + 5 = 3x - 3
2x+ 5 = 3x - 3
2x + 5 = 31x - 3)

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: 2x+5=3x-3

One number so X and five more than another so addition is the sum so equals and 3 less than so subtraction and the smaller number which is X

Answer 2

Answer:

Answer:

Answer = 2x+5 = 3x-3

Step-by-step explanation:

1) one number is five more than another

wehavetwonumbershere:xandx+5

2) sum is three less than three times the smaller

sum(x+x+5)=threeless(-3)threetimessmaller(3x)

So,combiningallboldnumbers:

2x+5=3x-3

How do I solve for x

Answers

Triangles ABC and DEF are similar, which means corresponding sides are proportional to one another. Here, side AB corresponds to DE, BC to EF, and AC to DF.

We know the length of AB and AC, and we can figure out the length of BC using the Pythagorean theorem:

$8^2+BC^2=17^2\implies BC=15$

Sides BC and EF correspond to one another, and EF is 2 times longer than BC. This means DF is 2 times longer than 17, so that $x=34$ .

Jack has 120 songs on his music player. Some are rock, some are jazz, and the rest of classical pieces. If his music player is on who random shuffle mode the probability that it will be to play a classical piece is 2/5 and the probability that it will play a jazz piece is 1/3. How many songs of each type are on jacks music player?

Answers

2/5 and 1/3 have a common denominator of 15. 6/15, 5/15, and 4/15 add up to 15/15. So the chances of rock are 4/15. 120 divided by 15 is 8. Six times eight equals fourty eight, five times eight equals forty, and four times eight equals thirty two. So there are 48 classical songs, 40 jazz songs, and 32 rock songs.
