Required expression:
['+' used to express sum, 'x' used in place of 'of']
Since 18+16 = 34
Then,
![\dfrac14\times(18+16)=\dfrac14\times34 \\\\=\dfrac{1}{2}\times17\ \ \text{[Divide numerator and denominator by 2]}\\\\=\dfrac{17}{2}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cdfrac14%5Ctimes%2818%2B16%29%3D%5Cdfrac14%5Ctimes34%20%20%5C%5C%5C%5C%3D%5Cdfrac%7B1%7D%7B2%7D%5Ctimes17%5C%20%5C%20%5Ctext%7B%5BDivide%20numerator%20and%20denominator%20by%202%5D%7D%5C%5C%5C%5C%3D%5Cdfrac%7B17%7D%7B2%7D)
Hence,
Answer:
Independent variable: c

Answer:
Larger number = 32
Step-by-step explanation:
Smaller number = x
Larger number = y
y - x = 8 -----------(I)
3y = 4x ---------------(II)
3y/4 = x
Plug in x = 3y/4 in equation (I)

y = 8*4
y = 32
Plug in y = 32 in equation (II)
3y = 4x
3*32 = 4x
4x = 3*32
x = 
x = 3 *8
x = 24
5.5 • 5= 27.5+27.5+65+65+71.5+71.5=328
13•5=65
13•5.5=71.5
THE ANSWER IS 328
