Each two digit number has two numbers (duh!). Let's allow the tens digit to be x and the units digit to be y. Tens digit is 3 less than the units digit: x = y-3 Original number is 6 more than 4 times the sum of the digits: 10x+y-6 = 4x + 4y This gives us simultaneous equations!First let's clear the mess: 1. x= y-32. 6x-3y=6 Substitute 1 into 2: 6(y-3) -3y =66y - 18 - 3y = 6
3y = 24y = 8 Our units digit is 8 Substitute y= 8 into 1. x = y - 3x = 5 Our tens digit is 5 Therefore, our number is 58
Total people x,
then, 3.5x + 5.5x + 6 = 51
simplify, 9x +6 = 51
subtract 6 on both sides, 9x= 45
divide by 9 on both sides, x= 5
therefore, total 5 people in the family.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
<h3>Given </h3>
<h3>To find</h3>
<h3>Solution</h3>
- 5x:9=7:3
- 5x = 7*9/3
- 5x = 7*3
- 5x = 21
- x = 21/5
- x = 4.2
