Answer:

11 and 33

Step-by-step explanation:

The greater of two numbers is 3 times the smaller.

Let the numbers be

n and 3n

sum is 44

n + 3n = 44

4n = 44

Divide both sides by 4

n = 11

3n = 3 * 11

3n = 33

Answer:

smaller number is 11

bigger number is 33.

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets make the smaller number be a, the bigger number 3a since its 3 times a's value

the sum of a and 3a is 44

so we write

a+3a = 44

combine like terms

a+3a = 4a

4a = 44

divide both sides by 4

a = 11.

Now we know the smaller number is equal to 11, but we are not done just yet.

We have to find the value of the bigger number by plugging in 11 into our equation

11+3*11 = 44

11 + 33 = 44

which means the bigger number is 33

Use &lt; , &gt; , = , ≤ , ≥ to complete these statements. 1) if x &lt; y , then y___ x, 2) if x &gt; 5 and 5 &gt; y, then x ___
vodomira [7]

Answer:

1) y > x

2) x > 5 > y

3) x ≤ 4  ( or 4 ≥ x )

4) x = y

Step-by-step explanation:

1) 1. y is greater than x

  2. so y > x

2) 1. 5 is less than x and more than y

   2. we can write this like x > 5 > y

   3. you can just squish them together as a shortcut usually: x > 5 and 5 > y      -->      x > 5 > y

3) 1. x is for at most, we can say this as x is less than or equal to 4

   2. this is written as x ≤ 4  or  4 ≥ x

4) 1. x - y = 0 so x and y must be the same value

   2. therefore x = y
