Hey!To solve this problem, we need to set up two equations and use the system of equations to solve.
Let x be the first number.
Let y be the second number.
(x + y) ÷ 2 = 34
x = 3y
Now, we can use substitution to solve.
(3y + y) ÷ 2 = 34
4y ÷ 2 = 34
2y = 34
y = 17
Now, you plug the value of y in the equation to solve for x.
x = 3*17
x = 51
hope this helps!!
96 times 68.43 would be 6569.28, or 6579 7/25
Here is how to work the problems and write the expressions.
