Answer:

17

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the larger number be represented by x

Let the smaller number be represented by y

from the question, the next equations can be gotten :

x - y = 9  equation 1

x = 1 + 2y equation 2

Substitute for x in equation 1

1 + 2y - y = 9

1 + y = 9

Collect like terms

y = 9 - 1

y = 8

Substitute for y in equation 1 and solve for x (the larger number)

x - 8 = 9

x = 9 + 8

x = 17

Ok, to solve this first you have to set up your proportion:

9/150=x/230

/ is a fraction

x= the number of vials it will take to treat 230 patients

in order to solve this, you have to cross multiply:

9 x 230= 2070

150 · x= 150x

so you get 150x=2070

then divide 2070 by 150

2070/150= 13.8

so it would take 13.8 vials of medicine to treat 230 patients
