Difference between two numbers is 25. the smaller number is 1/6th of the larger number. what is the value of the smaller number?

  5

Step-by-step explanation:

If x is the larger number, then the smaller is x/6, and their difference is ...

  x - x/6 = (5/6)x

The ratio of the smaller number to the difference is then ...

  (x/6)/(5x/6) = 1/5

So the smaller number is 1/5 of the difference, or 25/5 = 5.

The value of the smaller number is 5.

step-by-step explanation:

75

step-by-step explanation:

you do x-29=46 (the number of cantaloupes sold)

in order to find x, you have to find what minus 29 equals 46, meaning you'd have to add 29 to 46.

29+46=75

if you replace x with 75, the equation looks like:

75-29=46

x=75
