Represent 'a number' by x
7 times x equals 9 more than 4 times x
7 times x=9+4 times x
7x=9+4x
subtract 4x from both sides
3x=9
divide 3
x=3
the number is 3
Answer:
Divide the 1st equation by 2
a + 2c = 19
Divide the 2nd equation by 3
a + c = 13.5
Subtract the 1st equation and the 2nd equation
c = 5.5
Substituting back into the 2nd equation will give:
a + 5.5 = 13.5
a = 8

Expanded form:
1 × 100,000,000
+ 5 × 10,000,000
+ 4 × 1,000,000
+ 7 × 100,000
+ 9 × 10,000
+ 8 × 1,000
+ 1 × 100
+ 0 × 10
+ 5 × 1
