I just need to know how it's wrote thank you Answer by srinivas.g(540) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let x,y be the larger and smaller number respectively
One hails of large number is x/2
3 times the other numbers is 3x
One half of a larger number, plus three times another number is equal 9 ......eq1
two thirds a larger number minus twice a smaller number is 6 }......eq2
We need to solve above equations
Solve: We'll use substitution. After moving 3*y to the right, we get: , or . Substitute that
into another equation: and simplify: So, we know that y=1. Since , x=12.
