Answer:
17
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the larger number be represented by x
Let the smaller number be represented by y
from the question, the next equations can be gotten :
x - y = 9 equation 1
x = 1 + 2y equation 2
Substitute for x in equation 1
1 + 2y - y = 9
1 + y = 9
Collect like terms
y = 9 - 1
y = 8
Substitute for y in equation 1 and solve for x (the larger number)
x - 8 = 9
x = 9 + 8
x = 17

Answer:
x = 11/3
Step-by-step explanation:
x - 2/3 = 3
³⁾x = ³⁾3 + 2/3
3x = 9 + 2
3x = 11
x = 11/3
