Algebra.Com's Answer #374256 by ptaylor(2198)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let x=the smaller number; 2x=smaller number doubled \n" ); document.write( "Then x+6=the larger number; 4(x+6)=4 times the larger number \n" ); document.write( "Sooo our equation to solve is: \n" ); document.write( "2x+4(x+6)=90 \n" ); document.write( "2x+4x+24=90 subtract 24 from each side \n" ); document.write( "2x+4x+24-24=90-24 collect like terms \n" ); document.write( "6x=66 \n" ); document.write( "x=11-------------------smaller number \n" ); document.write( "x+6=11+6=17 larger number \n" ); document.write( "CK \n" ); document.write( "2*11+4*17=90 \n" ); document.write( "22+68=90 \n" ); document.write( "90=90\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Hope this helps--ptaylor \n" ); document.write( " |
