One number is five more than another, and their sum is three less than three times the smaller. find the numbers.

if x represents the smaller number, which equation could be used to solve for x?

a. x 2 + 5 = 3x - 3
b. 2x + 5 = 3x - 3
c. 2x + 5 = 3(x - 3)

B. .

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the smaller number.

We have been one number is five more than another. The another number would be: .

Sum of both numbers would be

Three times the smaller number would be  .

Three less than three times the smaller number would be  .

We have been given that their sum is three less than three times the smaller. We can represent this information in an equation as: .

Therefore, option B is the correct choice.

6,250

step-by-step explanation:

to get the area, multiply 360 by 160.(57,600)

to find out how many bags of fertilizer it will take, first figure out how many square feet one bag can hold. divide 1000 by 8(125) to get the unit rate(how many square feet one pound of fertilizer can hold)and multiply it by 50(6250). if i haven't made a mistake, that is the answer.
