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

Bob had 18 crackers Sam eat 1/6 of the crackers and sue ate 1/3 of the crackers. how many crackers did Bob have left
Lapatulllka [165]
We can add 1/6 & 1/3 together to find out the total amount of crackers that were eaten:

1/6 + 1/3   (Find the Common Denominator. In this case it is 6.) 
= 1/6 + 2/6
= 3/6 (Now find the Lowest Terms. Both 6 & 3 divide into 3)
= 1/2 (In Lowest Terms)

This means that 1/2 of the Crackers have been eaten.

1/2 of 18 = 9 

Therefore, Bob has 9 Crackers left.
