The larger of two numbers is 7 times the smaller number. Three times the larger number is 7 more than 4 times the smaller number. Find the numbers.

Respuesta :

Let the smaller number be x.

Given, the larger number is 7 times the smaller number.

So, the larger number = 7x.

Given, 3 times the larger number is 7 more than 4 times the smaller number.

So we can write the equation as,

[tex] 3(7x) = 4(x)+7 [/tex]

[tex] 3(7x) = 4x+7 [/tex]

[tex] 21x = 4x+7 [/tex]

Now we have to move 4x to the left side by subtracting 4x from both sides.

[tex] 21x-4x = 4x-4x+7 [/tex]

[tex] 21x-4x = 7 [/tex]

[tex] 17x = 7 [/tex]

To get x, we will divide both sides by 17. We will get,

[tex] \frac{17x}{17} = \frac{7}{17} [/tex]

[tex] x = \frac{7}{17} [/tex]

So the smaller number = [tex] \frac{7}{17} [/tex]

The larger number = [tex] 7(\frac{7}{17} ) [/tex] = [tex] \frac{49}{17} [/tex]

So we have got the required numbers.

Smaller number = [tex] \frac{7}{17} [/tex] and larger number = [tex] \frac{49}{17} [/tex].
