Answer:The larger is 28, the smaller is 9.
Step-by-step explanation:
n = the smaller
3n + 1 = the larger
n + (3n + 1) = 37
4n + 1 = 37
4n = 36
n = 9
3n + 1 = 3(9) + 1 = 28
The larger is 28, the smaller is 9.

The number used for the interest rate will be 6.17% in decimal form: 0.0617.
Answer:
15:6:14
Step-by-step explanation:
AB:BD is split into a total of 3+4=7 parts.
AC:CD is split into a total of 3+2=5 parts.
So, if the two ratios are put on a number line together with the points A, B, C, and D, the number line would be split into a total of 35 parts (the LCM of 7 and 5).
AB would be (3/7)*35=15.
CD would be (2/5)*35=14
BC would be 35-(15+14)=6
So, the ratio is 15:6:14.
Since 20 total gallons are needed, the amount of 10% solutions can be x and the amount of 20% solutions can be (20-x) since they add up to 20. In addition, the 17% solution has 20 gallons. Putting this into an equation, we get that 10% is 0.1 (by moving the decimal 2 spots to the left) , 0.2=20%, and 0.17=17%. With that information, we can determine that 10%*x+20%*(20-x)=20*0.17 due to that with 20 gallons of the 27% solution, we need a certain amount of solution. For every gallon, we add 0.17 of the solution, so we have 20*0.17. Similarly, we want that total amount to be represented by the amount of 20% + the amount of 10%.
0.1x+0.2(20-x)=0.1x+4-0.2x=-0.1x+4 using the distributive property
-0.1x+4=20*0.17=3.4. Subtract 4 from both sides to get -0.1x=-0.6, and multiply both sides by -10 (to separate x) to get x=6. Therefore, the amount of 10% solution is 6 gallons and the amount of 20% solution is 20-5=14 gallons
