Let us say the two numbers are x and y and x>y.
The data we have are;
Difference between the numbers are 12.
3 times larger number is equal to 7 times smaller number.
Then we can write;
 ----(1)
 ----(2)
From (1) we can say 
Then substituting  to (2) gives;




Then;


First one m = .0666666
second one i don't know
third one is .1
To answer the question, let x be the cost of each hamburger, y be the cost of each medium fries, and z be the cost of each medium drink. The equations that are described in the problem are,
(Miller ) 4x + 3y = 18.69
(James) x + 2y + z = 8.66
(Steven) 2x + y + z = 10.27
Solving simultaneously for the values of the variables give x = 3.36, y = 1.75, and z = 1.8.
Thus, each hamburger costs $3.36. Each medium fries cost $1.75, and each drink costs $1.8.
It should be $4 sorry if it is wrongbut i pretty sure that is he answer
Answer:
The change division should put the unit to be dispensed with as an afterthought inverse of where it happens in the first inquiry.
540 inches * (1 yard/36 inches)
The inches best and base drop, abandoning you with the outcome in yards.
