Answer:

3 French horns

6 tubas

9 trumpets

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of French horns be x.

<u>Number of French horns</u> = x

There are twice as many tubas as French horns, so

<u>Number of tubas</u> = 2x

There are three more trumpets than tubas, so

<u>Number of trumpets</u> = 2x + 3

Five times the number of trumpets equals nine times the number of French horns, plus triple the number of tubas, so

5(2x+3)=9x+3\cdot 2x\\ \\10x+15=9x+6x\\ \\10x+15=15x\\ \\15=15x-10x\\ \\15=5x\\ \\x=3\\ \\2x=6\\ \\2x+3=6+3=9

Answer:

The numbers are 20 and 140

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>The question in English is</em></u>

Find 2 numbers knowing that the second number is 7 times greater than the first, and the sum between the double of the first number and the triple of the second is 460

Define the variables

Let

x ----> the first number

y ----> the second number

we know that

y=7x -----> equation A

2x+3y=460 ----> equation B

Solve the system of equations by substitution

Substitute equation A in equation B

2x+3(7x)=460

solve for x

2x+21x=460

23x=460

x=20

<em>Find the value of y</em>

y=7x  ----> y=7(20)=140

The numbers are 20 and 140
