Answer:

The two numbers are 24 and 32

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the variable x

3x : 4x, would be a ratio of 3/4

now subtract 4 from both

3x - 4 : 4x - 4 = 5/7

3x-4 / 4x-4 = 5/7

cross multiplication

7(3x - 4) = 5(4x - 4)

21x - 28 = 20x - 20

x = 8

Two numbers are;

3x, 4x

3(8), 4(8)

24, 32

24/32 = 3/4

20/28 = 5/7

FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer:

a=2

Step-by-step explanation:

12a - 5 = 4a + 11

12a-4a - 5 = 4a-4a + 11

8a -5 = 11

Add 5 to each side

8a -5+5 = 11+5

8a = 16

8a/8 = 16/8

How are operations with variables like operations with real numbers?
amid [387]

Answer:

The relation between inputs and outputs is given by an equation called the equation of function. Since the outputs are also real values, hence, reasoning by analogy, you may use the arithmetical operation between functions (addition, subtraction, multiplication, division) to produce new functions.
