the sum of four times a number and another number is 10. The difference of the two numbers is 35. What is the larger number? Also please explain how you got that answer

The two numbers are 9 and -26.

The larger number is 9.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the two unknown numbers be x and y.

The sum of a four times a number x and another number y is 10. Hence:

And the difference between the two numbers is 35. So:

So, we have the system of equations:

From the second equation, we can add y to both sides:

Now, we can substitute this into the first equation:

Distribute:

Simplify:

Subtract 140 from both sides:

Divide both sides by 5:

So, the value of y is -26 .

Then it follows that the value of x is:

Substitute -26 for y:

So, our two numbers are 9 and -26.

The larger number is 9.

So, our answer is 9.

answer

the total estimated nappy use.=10,500,000

step-by-step explanation:

given that on an average the average baby uses 3528 napkins.

in a particular year 2014, the number of births were 299697 in new south wales.

rounding off the number of births to the nearest hundred thousand we have

no of birtsh = 300000

also rounding off the average usage to nearst thousand we get

average use of a baby = 3500

hence total number of nappy estimated to be used = 3500x300000

= 10,500,000

answer is 10,500,000 nappies
