X is the smaller number. 3x + 15 is the larger number. So x + 3x + 15 = 63. 4x + 15 = 63.
4x = 48. x = 12. (Smaller number) The larger 36 + 15 or 51.

To solve this we will write an equation to describe the situation.
(For some fun let us use (Apple) to represent the smaller number, and (Pineapple) for the big number)

Basically what the question is telling us is:
 (apple) + (pineapple)  = 63

Now we need to know what and (apple) and (pineapple)   are.
(pineapple) = 15 more than 3x the smaller number = 3(apple)   +  15
(apple): nothing special to do to it so it is just (apple)

Now we can replace (pineapple)  with what we calculated above. (pineapple) = 3(apple)  +  15

This means (apple)  + (3(apple)  + 15) = 63

  (apple) + 3(apples)  is simply 4(apples) 

So, the equation is now 4(apples)
  + 15 = 63

Now lets solve for (apple)  .
4(apple)  + 15 = 63
4(apple)  = 63 - 15
4(apple) = 48
(apple)= 48 ÷ 4

(apple) = 12
Voila! Now we know what (apple) is, but we still need to find (pineapple)  .

Remember how  (pineapple)  = 3(apple)   +  15 ?
We know (apple)  = 12 so plug in 12 for (apple)  to find out what (pineapple)   is.

  (pineapple) = 3(12) + 15
  (pineapple) = 36 + 15
  (pineapple) = 51

Now just to check: (apple)   +  (pineapple) should equal 63
Does 12 + 51 = 63? YES! so this answer is correct.

The two numbers you are looking for are:
apple = smaller number = 12
pineapple = bigger number = 51

Answer number 14. It’s very difficult for me and i need some help.
professor190 [17]

Answer:

1201.2 in (100.1ft)

Step-by-step explanation:

A scale model represents a ratio. All sides must be shrunk or increased based on a constant value. In this case the ratio of the model is 1/13 the size of the original giving us a 1:13 ratio. So each side of your scale model must be multiplied by 13 to find the real value of the side.

First convert all units to inches then divide the width of the real windmill by the width of the scale model (both in inches) you will see the answer is 13. Multiply the inch values of all sides of your model by 13 and this gives you the proportional value of each side of the real windmill in relation to the scale model.

In 2007 the population of the town of Cartersville was 24,455. The population growth can be represented by the formula P = 24,45
Triss [41]
P = 24455 (1.03)x
30,000/24455 (1.03) < x
The year must be > 1.19 + 2007, or 2008.19, which means in 2009, or in 2008 + 3 months
