T=4 should be the answer if ur trying 2 solve for T
Answer:
x=9 :))
Step-by-step explanation:
First set up your equation.
"3 times" is multiplication
"THE SUM of A NUMBER and seven" that is parenthesis because of the multiplication before it
"is increased by ten" that is an addition at the end
Now we have 3(x+7)+10=4
Solve your equation!
Distribute the 3 now we have 3x+21+10=4
Add like terms
now it should look like this... 3x+31=4
Subtract 31 from both sides and it looks like...
3x=27
Divide by the x-value
x=9
Tricky but not crazy hard. You could use th x/y method where you turn it into a cross multiplication fiasco.
or you can try your guesses through what ever equals 1/2 when you add one to the denominator. the answer you are looking for is 2/3
2/3 + 1 for the numerator = 1.
2/3 + 1 for the denominator = 1/2.
ANSWER
The larger number is 18
<u>EXPLANATION</u>
Let x be the larger number and y be the smaller number.
Then,
Let us add equation (1) and (2).
Divide through by 2
Put in to equation (1).
This implies that,
