The larger of two numbers is twice the smaller increased by five. find the two numbers if three times the larger exceeds double the smaller by 31

Larger number is 13 and Smaller number is 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the larger number be x.

Also let the smaller number be y.

We need to find the two numbers.

Given:

The larger of two numbers is twice the smaller increased by five.

framing in equation form we get;

⇒equation 1

Also Given:

Three times the larger exceeds double the smaller by 31

⇒equation 2

Now Substituting the value of x from equation 1 in equation 2 we get;

Now Using Distributive property we get;

Combining the like terms we get;

Now Using Subtraction property we get;

Now Using Division property we get;

Now Substituting value of y in equation 1 we will find the value of x.

Hence Larger number is 13 and Smaller number is 4.

2 & 7

step-by-step explanation:

he climbs 300 ft/hr at a constant rate. the peak is at 1,500 ft.

when going up, he reaches 600 ft in 2 hours. remember, that he is going in a constant rate. divide 600 with 300:

600/300 = 2

assuming that he takes the same route back (meaning that it's a 1500 ft route back, you can solve.

note also that you are solving when he gets back to 600 ft after he reaches the peak.

first, find the amount of hours it takes to get up the peak. divide the total amount (1500), with the ft/her (300) to get the amount of hours (x):

1500/300 = x

x = 5

it takes jamie 5 hours to get up. now, he is returning down, and reaches 600 (his current destination). remember that he climbs at a constant 300 ft/hr. divide 600 with 300:

600/300 = x

x = 2

now add the two numbers together.

x = 5 + 2 = 7

jamie takes 7 hours to go up the mountain and reach his current position when descending.

(total amount/constant rate) = (time).

remember that it is a constant rate, so in total, when he gets back down the mountain, it will take the same amount of time as when he goes up. the total amount for the round trip is: 5 + 5 = 10.
