ANSWER
The smaller number is 7.
EXPLANATION
Let the numbers be x and y.
Then we have;
y-3x=3... eqn (1)
If the sum of the numbers is 3 then,
y+x=31... eqn (2)
Eqn(2) - Eqn (1)
x--3x=31-3
Divide both sides by 4,
We put x=7 into the second equation,
y+7=31
y=31-7
y=24
The smaller of the two numbers is 7.
Answer:
equals 22.
Step-by-step explanation:
For every input in a function, there will be one corresponding output. When taking the output of the function and inserting it as the input to the inverse function of the original, the output will be equivalent to the exact input of the original function. In this case, because , that means
will equal 7. Using this knowledge, you can find the value of
, which will be
, so
equals 22.
