Let's say the larger number is x. that means that the smaller number is x - 3. since you know their sum is x + x - 3, and that is equal to 14. so you have the equation x + x - 3 = 14. combine like terms (x) to get 2x - 3 = 14. add three to both sides to get 2x = 17. divide both sides by two to get x = 17/2. so the larger number is 17/2, and the larger number is 11/2 (17/2 - 3 = 11/2)
Let Home runs = X
Triples would be X-3 ( 3 less triples than home runs)
Doubles would be 3x ( 3 times as many doubles as home runs)
Singles would be 45(x-3) ( 45 times as many singles as triples)
Simplify the equation for singles to be 45x-153
Now you have X + x-3 + 3x + 4x-135 = 262
Simplify:
50x - 138 = 262
Add 138 to both sides:
50x = 400
Divide both sides by 50:
x = 400/50
x = 8
Home runs = x = 8
Triples = x-3 = 8-3 = 5
Doubles = 3x = 3(8) = 24
Singles = 45(x-3) = 45(8-3) = 45(5) = 225

70+50=120
180-120=60
180-60=120

Answer:
1. Total Trip Distance = 190 kilometers
2. To complete the trip, 38 more kilometers left
Step-by-step explanation:
1.
Let total trip be x kilometers.
So we can say
<em>"152 is 
of total" --- this into equation is:</em>
Total trip is 190 km.
2.
Since already driven 152, to complete 190, you have to drive 
kilometers more.
So, 38 more kilometers to complete the trip.
