Hey!To solve this problem, we need to set up two equations and use the system of equations to solve.

Let x be the first number.
Let y be the second number.

(x + y) ÷ 2 = 34
x = 3y

Now, we can use substitution to solve.

(3y + y) ÷ 2 = 34
4y ÷ 2 = 34
2y = 34
y = 17

Now, you plug the value of y in the equation to solve for x.

x = 3*17
x = 51
hope this helps!!

(x + y)/2 = 34 multiply by 2
x + y = 68                               (1)
3x = y                                     (2)
Put 3x in for y in equation 1
x + 3x = 68
4x = 68
x = 17

One of the numbers is 17
The other one is 51

Can someone help me a still don't get this concept???
Flauer [41]

Well, if y = x - 5, then we calculate:

when x = -1 then y = -1 -5 = -6

when x = 0 then y = -5

when x = 1 then y = 1 - 5 = -4

when x = 2 then y = 2 - 5 = -3

Hope this helps!

With a rectangle length of 309 cm.and width of 249cmdoes it have the perimeter of 1500 cm?
horsena [70]
1116 is the perimeter it has. The formula for perimeter is 2l+2w=p
so when you plug the numbers in you get 2(309)+2(249)=1116. So it does not have a perimeter of 1500 cm.
