Let us assume the larger number = x
Let us assume the smaller number = y
Then
x + y = 3 3/4
x + y = 15/4
And
x/3 = (2y/3) + 1/2
x = [3 * (2y/3)] + (3/2)
= 2y + (3/2)
Now putting the value of x from the second equation to the first , we get
x + y = 15/4
2y + (3/2) + y = 15/4
3y = (15/4) - (3/2)
3y = (15 - 6)/4
3y * 4 = 9
12y = 9
y = 9/12
= 3/4
Now putting the value of y in the first equation, we get
x + y = 15/4
x + (3/4) = (15/4)
x = (15/4) - (3/4)
= (15 - 3)/4
= 12/4
= 3
So the value of x or the larger number is 3 and the value of y or the smaller number is 3/4.

okay since the first step is parenthesis, the next step would be exponents but you have none so you skip to multiplication, then you divide
divide is your answer
Answer:
A simplified method for dividing a polynomial by another polynomial of the first degree is synthetic division.
