The difference between two numbers is 6, and 5 times the smaller number is 3 times the larger number. Find the smaller number.

9514 1404 393

  9

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x and y represent the two numbers, with y being the smaller.

  x - y = 6 . . . . . . difference is 6

  3x = 5y . . . . . . . 3 times the larger is 5 times the smaller

Use the first equation to write an expression to substitute for x:

  x = y + 6

  3(y +6) = 5y

  18 = 2y . . . . . . .subtract 3y and collect terms

  9 = y

The smaller number is 9.

part a

in a city ice cream is mostly only bought when the temperature is very high as ice cream cools down our

so we can derive the conclusion that as the temperature increases the number of ice creams sold also increases

part b

y intercept is 5

slope is 2
