Let the smaller number be x.
Given, the larger number is 7 times the smaller number.
So, the larger number = 7x.
Given, 3 times the larger number is 7 more than 4 times the smaller number.
So we can write the equation as,
Now we have to move 4x to the left side by subtracting 4x from both sides.
To get x, we will divide both sides by 17. We will get,
So the smaller number = 
The larger number = 
= 
So we have got the required numbers.
Smaller number = and larger number = .
Answer: 
Step-by-step explanation:
We write a function f(x) which gives the values of the function that are dependent on the independent variable "x".
Given: The number of miles on the odometer can be represented by the equation y = x + 40, 000, where y is the number of miles on the odometer, and x is the number of miles you have driven it.
Here y is dependent on x, so we replace y by f(x), then we get
which is the required answer.
you work out the equation from 5 to 3 then compare it to 9
