Anumber is 1/7 of another number. the difference of the numbers is 18 (assume that you are subtracting the smaller number from the larger number.) find the numbers

The smaller number is 3. The larger number is 21. 

You can get this using the following system of equations and solving by any method. 

x - (1/7)y = 0
-x + y = 18

The question is kind of confusing. if it's asking how many variations of answers can you give. then do 4^5 for your answer.this would be something like the first question could be a and the 2nd c or first b next c etc. if you can, ask the teacher for a better confirmation of what it's asking. if i'm assuming correctly what it's asking, it's 625 different variations.

I’m pretty sure the * means multiplication. so, if you multiply 5*1, it would equal 5. they are basically are-writing 5x1 as 5*1. so they would be… 5 10152025303540455055
