The numbers whose sum is 32 in which one number is 3 times the other is 8 and 24 respectively.

<h3>Equation of the unknown</h3>

Let

x = one of the unknowns
3x = second unknown

x + 3x = 32

4x = 32

x = 32/4

x = 8

So,

3x = second unknown

= 3(8)

= 24

Check:

x + 3x = 32

8 + 24 = 32

How do I do this?<br> 4/5x>14

Likurg_2 [28]

Well, first, you need to know what you want to 'do' to it.

You want to find the description of what 'x' has to be in order to
make that inequality a true statement. Here's one way to do it:

      4/5 x > 14

Multiply each side by 5 :   4    x > 70

Divide each side by 4 :    x > 17.5 .

That's it. As long as 'x' is more than 17.5 ,
the original inequality is true.
