Answer:

<em>7, 22</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Let S = the smaller number.

"The larger number is 1 more than 3 times the smaller number."

The larger number is 3S + 1.

The difference between the numbers is 15, so the larger number minus the smaller number equals 15.

3S + 1 - S = 15

2S + 1 = 15

2S = 14

S = 7

The smaller number is 7.

larger number = 3S + 1 = 3(7) + 1 = 21 + 1 = 22

The larger number is 22.

What is the answer tie this problem (show ALL work please and thankyou) 1/3(18+12q)=6(2q-7)
qaws [65]
\frac{1}{3}(18 + 12q) = 6(2q - 7)   Use the Distributive Property on both sides
  6 + 4q = 12q - 42   Subtract 12q from both sides
   6 - 8q = -42          Subtract 6 from both sides
       -8q = -48           Divide both sides by -8
          q = 6

Solve x + 3y = 9<br> 3x – 3y = -13 (1 point)
Mariana [72]

Answer:

The values of x and y to the given equations are x=-1 and y=\frac{10}{3}

The solution is (-1,\frac{10}{3})

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equations are x+3y=9\hfill (1)

and 3x-3y=-13\hfill (2)

to solve the given equations by elimination method :

Adding the given two equations (1) and (2) we get

x+3y=9

3x-3y=-13

_______________

4x=-4

x=-\frac{4}{4}

Therefore x=-1

Now substitute the value x=-1 in equation(1) we get

(-1)+3y=9

3y=9+1

y=\frac{10}{3}

Therefore the values of x and y to the given equations are x=-1 and y=\frac{10}{3}

The solution is (-1,\frac{10}{3})
