A number is 5 more than 3 times another number. The sum of the two numbers is 33. As an equation, this is written x + 3x + 5 = 3

3, where x represents the smaller number. Plug in the numbers from the set {3, 5, 7, 9} to find the value of x.
The value of x that holds true for the equation is . So, the smaller number is and the larger number is .

Answer:

x=7

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x:

3 x + x + 5 = 33

x + 3 x = 4 x:

4 x + 5 = 33

Subtract 5 from both sides:

4 x + (5 - 5) = 33 - 5

5 - 5 = 0:

4 x = 33 - 5

33 - 5 = 28:

4 x = 28

Divide both sides of 4 x = 28 by 4:

(4 x)/4 = 28/4

4/4 = 1:

x = 28/4

The gcd of 28 and 4 is 4, so 28/4 = (4×7)/(4×1) = 4/4×7 = 7:

Answer:

x=7, so the smaller number is 7 and the larger number is 21.

Step-by-step explanation:

x=3x+5=33

Let x=3:

(3)+3(3)+5=3+9+5=17, not 33, so x is not 3

Let x=5:

(5)+3(5)+5=5+15+5=25, not 33, so x is not 5

Let x=7:

(7)+3(7)+5=7+21+5=33, so x=7

Let x=9:

(9)+3(9)+5=9+27+5=41, not 33, so x is not 9

Therefore x=7. Because x represents the smaller number, and the larger number is 3 times the smaller number, the smaller number is 7 and the larger number is 3(7)=21.

Answer:

A. 24.5

B. 29.6

Step-by-step explanation:

A.

19 - 13.5 = 5.5

30 - 5.5 = 24.5

24.5 - 5.5 = 19

24.5

B.

43.8 - 36.7 = 7.1

36.7 - 7.1 = 29.6

29.6 - 7.1 = 22.5

29.6
