Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let us assume that,
x represents the number of sq. yards of fabric and
y represents price of the fabric.
As the unit price of the fabric i.e cost per sq. yard of fabric is $1.25, so for each number of sq. yard of fabric, the cost for that much of fabric will be multiple of 1.25 of that number.
i.e
Here, the rate of change is 1.25. So for each increase in x, the amount of increase in y is 1.25
The table along with the graph have been attached below.
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 =
