Assume the problem is:
four times the larger of two number is equal to seven times the smaller.
The sum of the numbers is 22. find the numbers.
:
Two number x & y, (y is the larger)
:
Write an equation for each statement:
"four times the larger of two number is equal to seven times the smaller."
4y = 7x
:
"The sum of the numbers is 22."
x + y = 22
x = (22-y)
:
find the numbers.
Substitute (22-y) for x in the 1st equation
