Write an equation or expression for each statement
:
"one number is 11 more than another number."
From this statement we can say:
x = another number
and
(x+11) = one number
:
Find the two number if
" three times the larger exceeds four times th smaller number by 4."
3(x + 11) = 4x + 4
:
3x + 33 = 4x + 4
:
33 - 4 = 4x - 3x
:
x = 29
;
The two numbers are 29 & 40
;
:
Check solutions using the statement:
"three times the larger exceeds four times th smaller number by 4."
3(40) = 4(29) + 4
120 = 116 + 4
:
How about this? Did this simplify things for you?
