If five times the smaller of two numbers is subtracted from twice the larger the result is 16 if the larger is increased by three times the smaller the result is 63 by the numbers

Smaller Number = 10

Larger Number = 33

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the smaller number be "x" and the larger number be "y"

5 TIMES smaller is SUBTRACTED from TWICE larger, the result is 16, we can write:

2y - 5x = 16

and

Larger increased by 3 TIMES SMALLER, result is 63, so we can write:

y + 3x = 63

We can write this in terms of x, as:

y = 63 - 3x

Now we put this in equation 1 and solve for x first:

2y - 5x = 16

Now,

y = 63 - 3x

y = 63 - 3(10)

y = 63 - 30

y = 33

Smaller Number = 10

Larger Number = 33

6.9

step-by-step explanation:

simple math really

6 1/2 times 0.6 = 3.9

but if you are just doing 6 and not 6 1/2 then the answer is 3.6

the smallest possible measurement of the width is 14 feet

step-by-step explanation:

let's assume length of parallelogram is 'l'

width of parallelogram is 'w'

the perimeter of a parallelogram must be no less than 40 feet

so, we get

we are given

length of parallelogram is 6 feet

so,

l=6

we can plug it

now, we can solve for w

subtract both sides by 12

divide both sides by 2

and we get

so,

the smallest possible measurement of the width is 14 feet
