The larger of two numbers is 3 more than the smaller number if, the sum of the numbers is 73. what are the two numbers

Hey there!!

With the question, we know that there are two numbers.

The question states that the larger number is 3 more than the smaller number. And the sum of the two numbers is 73.

Taking into equations.

... Smaller number + Larger number = 73

... Smaller number + Smaller number + 3 = 73

... 2 ( smaller number ) = 73 - 3

... 2 ( smaller number ) = 70

... smaller number = 70 / 2

... smaller number = 35

Hence, the smaller number is 35 and the larger number is smaller number + 3 , which is 38.

Hence, the numbers are 35 and 38

Hope my answer helps!!

use an equation of ratios to determine the amount of gas needed to fill the tank.

    0.2             0.8

  =    

288.75             x

                                                              231 gal

so, 0.2x = (0.8)(288.75 gal), and x = = 1155 gal.

                                                                0.2

it would take 1155 gal. to fill the tank.

the cost would be

1155 gal         $3

* = $3465   (answer)

      1           1 gal

hope this you
