The sum of two numbers is 54. the large number is 18 more than the sampler number. what are the numbers ?

a=36; b=18

Step-by-step explanation:

1. You know that the sum of two numbers is 54, then, you have:

a+b=54

2. According to the problem, the larger number is 18 more than the sampler number, this can be expressed as following:

a=b+18

3. Then, you must substitute the second equation into the first equation and solve for b:

b+18+b=54

b=18

4. Then the value of a is:

a+18=55

a=36

step-by-step explanation:

1. the cylinder is a. 54

2.   a.108 /

d, x=8

step-by-step explanation:

simplifying

4x + -5 = 2x + 11

reorder the terms:

-5 + 4x = 2x + 11

reorder the terms:

-5 + 4x = 11 + 2x

solving

-5 + 4x = 11 + 2x

solving for variable 'x'.

move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

add '-2x' to each side of the equation.

-5 + 4x + -2x = 11 + 2x + -2x

combine like terms: 4x + -2x = 2x

-5 + 2x = 11 + 2x + -2x

combine like terms: 2x + -2x = 0

-5 + 2x = 11 + 0

-5 + 2x = 11

add '5' to each side of the equation.

-5 + 5 + 2x = 11 + 5

combine like terms: -5 + 5 = 0

0 + 2x = 11 + 5

2x = 11 + 5

combine like terms: 11 + 5 = 16

2x = 16

divide each side by '2'.
