Let's start by assigning variables for each of the numbers. Let the first one be x, the second one be y.

x + y = 36

x = 3y - 4

Now we solve using substitution.

3y - 4 + y = 36

This simplifies into:

4y = 32

y = 8.

Now we need to solve for x.

36 - 8 = 28 (because x + y = 36)

x = 28

The ratio of two numbers is 7 to 5. The sum of the numbers is 24. What are the numbers?
Kipish [7]

Answer:

14 and 10

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of the 2 numbers = 7x : 5x

The sum of the 2 numbers is 24, hence

7x + 5x = 24

12x = 24 ( divide both sides by 12 )

x = 2

7x = 7 × 2 = 14

5x = 5 × 2 = 10

Thus the numbers are 14 and 10
