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

Given that 8x – 3y = 36
Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer:

x = 45/8

Step-by-step explanation:

8x – 3y = 36

Let y=3

8x – 3*3 = 36

8x - 9 = 36

Add 9 to each side

8x -9+9 = 36+9

8x = 45

Divide each side by 8

8x/8 = 45/8

x = 45/8
