Answer:
Smaller number: 12
Greater number: 31
Step-by-step explanation:
Hi there!
Let x equal to the smaller number.
Let y be equal to the greater number.
<u>1) Translate the information into equations</u>
"One is 7 more than twice the other"
⇒
"The sum of the numbers is 43"
⇒
<u>2) Use substitution to solve for the smaller number</u>
Plug the equation into the above equation
Subtract both sides by 7
Divide both sides by 3 to isolate x
Therefore, the smaller number equates to 12.
<u>3) Use substitution to solve for the greater number</u>
Plug in x as 12
Subtract both sides by 12 to isolate y
Therefore, the greater number equates to 31.
I hope this helps!
