Let the smaller number be x.

The larger number is 1 more than 3 times the smaller number; in numbers this is: 3x + 1.

Their sum is 15, so subtracting x from 3x + 1 will be equal to 15. Your equation is: 15 = (3x + 1) - x

Solve 15 = (3x + 1) - x algebraically for x, and then plug x into 3x + 1 to find the larger number.

15 = (3x + 1) - x
15 = 3x + 1 - x
15 = 2x + 1
14 = 2x
7 = x

3x + 1
3(7) + 1
21 + 1
22

Finally, check all work.

22 - 7 = 15
7(3) + 1 = 22

Answer:
The smaller number is 7 and the larger number is 22.

daser333 [38]
Since you know the amount of what she earns you would use the number 15 and you dont know how long she worked you would put "x" next to the 15. so you would have 15x and then put a plus 5 to show her transportation fee. so you would have the equation of 15x+5:) and instead of x use h to show hours because h=hours

you feel me?
great!

Step-by-step explanation:

25(2x) + 25(3y)

25 · (2 · x) + 25 · (3 · y)

(25 · 2) · x + (25 · 3) · y                <em>Associative property </em><em>(a · b) · c = a · (b · c)</em>

(25 · 2)x + (25 · 3)y

(2 · 25)x + (3 · 25)y             <em>Commutative property</em><em> a · b = b · a</em>

<em>50x + 75y</em>
