One number is 6 times a second number. The sum of the two numbers is 56. Find the numbersOne number is 6 times a second number. The sum of the two numbers is 56. Find the numbers

I think its 56 = 56

Step-by-step explanation:

8 and 48

Step-by-step explanation:

This can be written as a system of equations. X will be the smaller number and y will be the larger:

6x = y

x + y = 56

Then substitute y in the second equation for 6x(seen in first equation) and solve.

x + 6x = 56

7x = 56

x = 8

So one number is 8. To find the other plug in 8 for x in either of the original equations (both get the same answer for y).

6x = y

6 * 8 = y

48 = y

Then double check by seeing if they fit the requirements of the problem.

Hope this helps!

answer: y=0 if that is what u r looking for

a.) list the factors of 40.

1/2/4/5/8/10/20/40

b.) list the factors of 40 that represent the number of cans that could be on each shelf.

5

c.) how many different arrangements of cans are possible?

just one because if you put more on one shelf you will go way over 40 and the cabinet will probably break.

d.) what are the possible arrangements of the cans?

put 5 cans on each self to reach 40 cans in total.

e.) which arrangement uses all the shelves?

5 because you can put 5 cans on each shelf, and since there are 8 shelfs you are equally going to get 40 cans.
