CD and DE are equal distance so their equations are equal:
2x+7 = 4(x-3)
2x+7 = 4x-12
Subtract 2x from both sides
7 = 2x-12
Add 12 to both sides
19 = 2x
9.5 = x
Now that u have x just plug it into the equation for DE
4(9.5-3)
38-12
26 is the answer
75% is equal to 3/4. So the easiest way to do this is to make the smaller number a multiple of 4. Let's say the smaller number is 8. To find the larger number, you must take 75% of 8 and then add it to 8. 1/4 of 8 equals 8 divided by 4, which is 2. Therefore, 3/4 of 8 is 6. 8 + 6 = 14.
Thus, your two numbers could be 8 and 14.
