Hey siri the sum of two numbers is 50 and the larger number is six less than 3 times the smaller number find the smaller number

x + y = 50

x = 3y - 6

3y - 6 + y = 50

4y = 56

y = 14

answer: first option i.e. 'a' is correct.

step-by-step explanation:

since we have given that

number of minutes to wrap a small gift box = 4 minutes

we need to find the number of gifts to be wrapped in 5 minutes

since there is a direct variation, as the number of minutes will increase with   number of gifts to be wrapped.

so, let the number of gifts to be wrapped in 5 minutes be x.

so, it becomes,

hence, first option 'a'   is correct.
