I believe the answer is 20 sorry
Let us assume the larger number = x
Let us assume the smaller number = y
Then
x + y = 3 3/4
x + y = 15/4
And
x/3 = (2y/3) + 1/2
x = [3 * (2y/3)] + (3/2)
= 2y + (3/2)
Now putting the value of x from the second equation to the first , we get
x + y = 15/4
2y + (3/2) + y = 15/4
3y = (15/4) - (3/2)
3y = (15 - 6)/4
3y * 4 = 9
12y = 9
y = 9/12
= 3/4
Now putting the value of y in the first equation, we get
x + y = 15/4
x + (3/4) = (15/4)
x = (15/4) - (3/4)
= (15 - 3)/4
= 12/4
= 3
So the value of x or the larger number is 3 and the value of y or the smaller number is 3/4.
Given the perimeter and length of the garden, the width of the garden was extended by 4 feet
<h3>How to find width of the garden</h3>
- Length of the garden = 12 feet
- Width of the garden = 7 feet
- Width extension =( 7 + w) feet
Perimeter = 2(length+ width)
46 = 2{12 + (7 + w)}
46 = 2(12 + 7 + w)
46 = 2(19 + w)
46 = 38 + 2w
46 - 38 = 2w
8 = 2w
w = 8/2
w = 4 feet
