Answer:

The smaller number equals 12, the larger number equals 51.

Step-by-step explanation:

x + (3x + 15) = 63

Combine like terms.

4x + 15 = 63

Subtract 15 from both sides.

4x + (15 -15) = (63 - 15)

4x = 48

Divide both sides by 4.

4x/4 = 48/4

x = 12

Check answer.

12 + (3(12) + 15) = 63

12 + 36 + 15 = 63

63 = 63

Nastasia [14]

Answer:

L = 25 m

Step-by-step explanation:

L = 4W - 3

perimeter = 2(L + W)

64 = 2(4W - 3 + W)

divide both sides by 2:

32 = 5W - 3

add 3 to each side:

5W = 35

divide both sides by 5:

W =7

L = 4(7) - 3 = 25
