One number is 6 more than another. If the sum of the smaller number and 3 times the larger number is 34, find the two numbers.
\n" ); document.write( "Let the smaller number be: x
\n" ); document.write( "Then the larger number is 6 more than x: x+6
\n" ); document.write( "Sum means add
\n" ); document.write( "3 times means 3*
\n" ); document.write( "is means =
\n" ); document.write( "smaller number + 3*larger number = 34
\n" ); document.write( "(x)+3(x+6)=34
\n" ); document.write( "x+3x+18=34
\n" ); document.write( "4x+18=34
\n" ); document.write( "4x+18-18=34-18
\n" ); document.write( "4x=16
\n" ); document.write( "4x/4=16/4
\n" ); document.write( "x=4
\n" ); document.write( "The smaller number: x=4
\n" ); document.write( "The larger number: x+6=4+6=10
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Check:
\n" ); document.write( "Does smaller number + 3*larger number = 34?
\n" ); document.write( "(4)+3(10)=34?
\n" ); document.write( "4+30=34?
\n" ); document.write( "34=34!
\n" ); document.write( "We're right!
