1/2 ( -3/2 + 6x + 1) - 3x
Simplify:
= 1/2 (-1/2 + 6x) - 3x
Apply distributive property:
= -1/4 + 3x -3 x
Simplify:
= -1/4
Answer:
Smaller number: 12
Greater number: 31
Step-by-step explanation:
Hi there!
Let x equal to the smaller number.
Let y be equal to the greater number.
<u>1) Translate the information into equations</u>
"One is 7 more than twice the other"
⇒ 
"The sum of the numbers is 43"
⇒ 
<u>2) Use substitution to solve for the smaller number</u>

Plug the equation
into the above equation

Subtract both sides by 7

Divide both sides by 3 to isolate x

Therefore, the smaller number equates to 12.
<u>3) Use substitution to solve for the greater number</u>

Plug in x as 12

Subtract both sides by 12 to isolate y

Therefore, the greater number equates to 31.
I hope this helps!
