One number is 7 more 3 times another number. the sum is 75. what is the smaller number
1 answer:
Greetings from Brasil...
According to the statement of the question, we can assemble the following system of equation
X = 7 + 3Y i
X + Y = 75 ii
So, multiplying ii by -1 and adding with i
X = 7 + 3Y
- X - Y = - 75
- Y = 7 + 3Y - 75
4Y = 68
Y = 17
for X we will use ii:
X + Y = 75
X + 17 = 75
X = 58
The smaller number is: 17

Dividing by 7
8/t = 7/ 35
8/ 7t = 1/ 35
Multiplying by t
8/7 = t/35
_____________
Options
1) 8/t = 35/ 7 (False, t/8 = 35/ 7 )
2) t/8 = 7/ 35 (False, t/8 = 35/ 7 )
3) 8/7 = t/ 35 (TRUE)
4) 7/8 = t/35 (False, 8/7 = t/ 35 )
