The difference between two numbers is twice the smaller number. The smaller number is 10 less than the larger number. Find the smaller number.
SolutionIn order to make it feasible for teachers to use these problems in their classwork, no solutions are publicly visible, so students cannot simply look up the answers. If you would like to view the solutions to these problems, you must have a Virtual Classroom subscription.
If the sum of an integer and the next consecutive integer is added to the sum of another integer and its next consecutive odd integer, the result is 71.
If the smaller of the two numbers is subtracted from twice the larger, the result is 29. What are the two numbers?
The reason the king's horses and the king's men couldn't put Humpty Dumpty back together again is that the king's horses were no help whatsoever. In fact, the king's horses (who are not very handy) accidentally break pieces instead of putting them together.
One king's man can put together two pieces every 5 seconds.
One king's horse can break a piece in two every 2 seconds.
There are twenty more men than horses.
If there had been six fewer men, and horses broke pieces at a rate of one every three seconds, they could have done the job.
If the number of men and the number of horses are both prime numbers, how many men and horses are there?
The sum of two numbers is eleven less than four times the smaller number. The difference between the numbers is five more than the smaller number. What is the larger number?
The sum of two pairs of consecutive integers is 100. the difference between the largest and the smallest of these four integers is 9 less than the average of the four integers.
Find all four integers.
The sum of two numbers is six more than twice the smaller number, and if the larger number is multiplied by three, the result is ten less than seven times the smaller number. What is the larger number?
Two numbers add to twenty-seven more than the opposite of the smaller number. The numbers differ by three. What is the larger number?
The shortest side of a triangle has length 16 inches. The perimeter of the triangle is nineteen less than three times the longest side.The remaining side is eight inches shorter than the longest side. What are the side lengths of the triangle?
I am a three digit number. The sum of my first two digits is 15, and the sum of my last two digits is 8. The sum of my first and last digits is 7. What number am I?
