One number is 3 less than twice another. if their sum is 39, find the numbers.
which of the following systems of equations represents the word problem?
a. y = 2x - 3 and y = x + 39
b. y = 2x - 3 and x + y = 39
c. y = 2(x - 3) and x + y = 39

Let

y------> one number

x-----> another number

we know that

------> equation A

------> equation B

substitute equation A in equation B

Find the value of y

the numbers are and

therefore

the answer is the option B

and

1. sometimes

2.   never

3   .08c = 7.50+.05c   250 pages

step-by-step explanation:

1.   sometimes

the theoretical probability of rolling a 1 is 1/6.   perhaps you got really lucky and never rolled a 1   in those 60 times.   your experimental probability is 0.   or perhaps you rolled a 1   20 times.   your experimental probability is 20/60 is 1/3.     it really just depends on how you rolled in that experiment.

2.   never

the probability of the event occurring is 1.   that is being 100 % sure it will happen.   that is the maximum amount of confidence we have.

3.   no customer card cost:   .08 times number of pages

customer card cost:   7.50 + .05 times number of pages

we want to find when it costs the same amount, so we will set these equal

let c = number of pages

.08c = 7.50+.05c

subtract .05c from each side

.08c-.05c = 7.5+.05c-.05c

.03c=7.5

divide each side by .03

.03c/.03 = 7.5/03

c =250  

the cost is the same at 250 pages
