Answer:Let's assume x be the smaller number.
Given that, The greater number is 4 more than the smaller number.
So, greater number= x+4.
It's also given that, The sum of two numbers is 52. Which means sum of x and x+4 must be equa to 52. Hence,
x + (x + 4) = 52
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
a) x = 5
b) x = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
a)
= 9.5
3x+4 = 9.5(2)
3x = 19-4
x = 15/3
x = 5
b)
= 5
7+2x = 5(3)
2x = 15-7
x = 8/2
x=4
