The greater of two numbers is six more

Mathematics
1 answer:
pickupchik [31]3 years ago

Answer:

 

Let's begin by writing the mathematical equations given by the sentences.

 

Let X = smaller number

Let Y = larger number

 

The first sentence tells us

X + Y = 38

 

The second sentence tells us

X = Y/3 + 6

 

Since you weren't given a specific method to use, you can use either the substitution method or the elimination(addition) method, whichever works best for you.

 

Since the 2nd equation has the X isolated, I'm going to isolate the X in the first equation,

X = 38 - Y

 

Since both equations are equal to X, I can set them equal to one another and solve for Y.

Y/3 + 6 = 38 - Y

 

Y + 18 = 114 - 3Y

4Y = 96

Y = 24

 

Then use either of the two original equations to solve for X

X + Y = 38

X + 24 = 38

X = 14
