Answer:

7 and 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the numbers be a and b.

<u>A positive number is 7 times another number:</u>

  • a = 7b

<u>If 3 is added to both the numbers then one of the new number becomes 5 by 2 times the other new number:</u>

  • a+3 = 5/2 × (b +3)

<u>To solve this we substitute </u><u>a</u><u> with </u><u>7b</u><u> in the second equation:</u>

  • 7b + 3 = 5/2 × (b +3)               ⇒ multiplying both sides by 2
  • 14b + 6 = 5b + 15                    ⇒ collecting like terms
  • 14b - 5b = 15 - 6
  • 9b = 9
  • b = 1                                        ⇒ solved for b

<u>Then, finding a:</u>

  • a= 7b
  • a=7*1
  • a= 7                                        ⇒ solved for a

<u>So the numbers are</u> 7 and 1

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  6 h

Step-by-step explanation:

The bottom number in the table is half the top number. The missing value is 6 (hours).

__

I like to put the variable in the numerator of a proportion. Here, we can write it as ...

  t/12 = 45/90

Multiplying by 12 gives ...

  t = 12(45/90) = 12(1/2) = 6

It will take Darin 6 hours to mow 12 lawns.
