The larger of two numbers is less than twice the smaller number. if the sum of two numbera is 38,find the sum of the two numbers

Let the larger number = y and the smaller number = x.

The largest number is 10 less than twice the smaller number.  Remember that less than means subtract the 10 from the other amount while twice means multiply by two.  Therefore,

y = 2x - 10

The sum of the two numbers is 38.  Remember sum means add the two numbers to get their result.  Therefore,

x + y = 38

Since y = 2x - 10, we rewrite the lower equation as:

x + (2x - 10) = 38

Solving:

3x - 10 = 38

3x = 48

x = 16

The lesser number is 16 and the greater number is 2(16) - 10 or 22.

answer: yes i agree that you should not put it on/p>

step-by-step explanation: the reason for this is that it wastes other peoples time and also make them fail as well and that is never good.

2.2°  

step-by-step explanation:

let θ = the angle of elevation.

tanθ =77/2020

tanθ = 0.038 12

      θ = tan⁻¹0.038 12

      θ = 2.2°
