The difference of two numbers is 12. the larger number is one less than twice the smaller number. find the two numbers.

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: x-y=12
x-1=2y
x-1/2=2y/2
y=1/2x-1/2

x-y=12
x-(1/2x-1/2)=12
x-1/2x+1/2=12
1/2x+1/2-1/2=12-1/2
1/2x÷1/2=11 1/2÷1/2
x=23

x-y=12
23-y=12
23-23-y=12-23
-y=-11
y=11

Check
23-1=2(11)
22=22

Which of the following equations has an infinite number of solutions?A. 3x – 3 = –4x
B. 2y + 4 – y = 16
C. 7x + 5 = 4x + 5 + 3x
D. 6y – 2 = 2(y – 1)

Answers

The equation 7x + 5 = 4x + 5 + 3x has an Infinite number of solutions. which is the correct answer would be option (C).

What is the equation?

The equation is defined as mathematical statements that have a minimum of two terms containing variables or numbers that are equal.

We have to determine which equation has an infinite number of solutions

As per option (C),

⇒ 7x + 5 = 4x + 5 + 3x

Combine comparable terms to simplify both sides of the problem.

You have become left with 7x+5 = 7x+5.

On both sides, subtract 7x.

This gives you 5=5.

Subtraction 5 from both sides

⇒ 0 = 0

Thus, this equation has an Infinite number of solutions.

Hence, the correct answer would be an option (C).

The answer is C

Simplify both sides of the equation and combine like terms.
You’re left with 7x+5 = 7x+5
Subtract 7x on both sides
Leaves you with
5=5
Subtract 5 on both sides
0=0

Iceberg lettuce is grown and shipped to stores for about 30 cents a head, and consumers purchase it for about 72 cents a head. Find the percent increase.

What is profit percentage ?

Profit percentage are used to refer to the amount of profit that has been incurred in terms of percentage. It should also be stated that the profit percentage is one of the methods for comparing two quantities which the shopkeeper gets a profit.  

How to calculate percent increase of the given product ?

It is given that Iceberg lettuce is grown and shipped to stores for about 30 cents a head and consumers purchase it for about 72 cents a head.

Thus cost price of the product is 30 cents whereas the selling price is 72 cents.

Therefore, profit incurred is = (72 - 30) = 42 cents.

Percent increase -

=  (profit / cost price) * 100 %

= (42/30) * 100 %

= 140 %

Thus, the percent increase in sales of Iceberg lettuce is 140% .

To learn more about percent increase, refer -

In this question, you divide the number it has increased, by original amount and times it by 100 to get the percent.

In this case, 72-30 = 42
42/30 = 7/5 
7/5 x 100 = 140%

I hope this makes sense!
