Your numbers are 11 and 32

We know that:
a + b = 44
and
a = 3b

If we substitute “3b” in for a in the first equation, we get a numerical value for b

3b + b = 44
4b = 44
b = 11

Then we substitute the numerical value of b to solve for a:
a = 3b
a = 3(11) = 33

Viktor [21]

Answer:

$\frac{23}{28}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{2}{3} \times \frac{3}{4} + \frac{3}{7} \times \frac{3}{4}$

$= > \frac{3}{4} ( \frac{2}{3} + \frac{3}{7} )$

$= > \frac{3}{4} \times \frac{23}{21}$

Reducing 3 from numerator and denominator,

$= > \frac{23}{4 \times 7} = \frac{23}{28}$

RoseWind [281]

Answer:

k = 48

Step-by-step explanation:

Given expression:

33 is 15 less than k

Convert this into equation and solve for k:

33 = k - 15
k = 33 + 15
k = 48

So the <u>value of k is 48</u>
