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 = .
4.1.....the 4 in the ones place is 10 times bigger then the 4 in the tenths place and 100 times bigger then the 4 in the hundredths place and 1000 times bigger then the 4 in the thousandths place
2.4..the 4 in the tenths place is 10 timed bigger then the 4 in the hundredths place and 100 times bigger then the 4 in the thousandths place
3.14...the 4 in the hundredths place is 10 times bigger then the 4 in the thousandths place
5.124...this 4 in the thousandths place is the smallest
If you have 8 yellow balloons for every 12 blue balloons, then if you have 20 balloons in total, 8 out of 20 of those balloons will be yellow. Then you can set up this ratio.
Then, you can use either cross multiplication or multiply the numerator and denominator by the same number to help solve for x. Personally, I prefer cross multiplication.
Finally, solve for x and if you had 100 balloons, you will have 40 yellow balloons.
Y=10(3)^3-12(3)
y=270-36
y=234
If the equation is (-13) x (817), then the product is (-10621).
