Three times a larger number is 30 more than 5 times a smaller number. The sum of the larger number and 5 times the smaller number is 50

Smaller number = 6

Larger number = 20

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the smaller number be x.

Let the larger number be y.

Three times a larger number is 30 more than 5 times a smaller number. This will be:

3 × y = (5 × x) + 30

3y = 5x + 30 i

The sum of the larger number and 5 times the smaller number is 50. This will be:

y + 5x = 50 ii

From equation ii

y + 5x = 50.

y = 50 - 5x iii

Put the value of y = 50 - 5x into equation i

3y = 5x + 30

3(50 - 5x) = 5x + 30

150 - 15x = 5x + 30

150 - 30 = 5x + 15x

120 = 20x

x = 120/20

x = 6

The smaller number is 6

Note that y + 5x = 50

y + 5(6) = 50

y + 30 = 50

y = 50 - 30

y = 20

The bigger number is 20

answer: the answer is 100 x 12,500, which is 1,250,000.

step-by-step explanation: emily solved for a part when she should have solved for the whole.  

875,000 should be the numerator of the equivalent ratio.  

70 x 12,500 is 875,000.
