Answer:

12 and 28

Step-by-step explanation:

Represent the numbers using x and y.  Then y - x = 16.  (y is the larger one.)

Then 3y = 7x, and y = (7/3)x.

Substituting (7/3)x for y in y - x = 16, we get:

(7/3)x - x = 16.

Eliminate the fraction by multiplying all three terms by 3:

7x - 3x = 48, or 4x = 48, yielding x = 12.  Then y = (7/3)(12) = 28.

anzhelika [568]
To find the perimeter of Lorenzo's patio, you need to understand that perimeter is a measurement of distance around a sided figure.

We know the side lengths are 12 feet, 14 feet, 12 feet, and 14 feet because it is a rectangle.

Add all these together to find the total distance around.

12 + 12 + 14 + 14 or (12 x 2) + (14 x 2) = 52 feet

The perimeter of Lorenzo's patio is 52 feet.

Describe one difference between rewriting a literal equation and solving an equation in one variable.
sesenic [268]

Literal equation:

we know that

literal equation is equation of more one variable

for example: 2x+3y=1

And we can solve such equations only if we are given two such equation

because it has two variables

One variable equation:

such equation has single variables

for example:

3x=21

we don't need any other equation

we can solve for variables from single equation itself

because it has only one variable that is x
