document.write( "Question 773789: The sum of two odd numbers is 198. Both of the numbers are multiples of 3. One of the numbers is 5 times the other. Which equation could you use to find the two numbers? \n" ); document.write( "
Algebra.Com's Answer #471849 by josgarithmetic(39630) ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! Great deal of information about these two numbers. The solution will easily come from just these assignings and and equations: \n" ); document.write( "m = lesser number \n" ); document.write( "n = greater number \n" ); document.write( "---- no concern about odd or even---- \n" ); document.write( "---- no concern about product of 3----\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "m+n=198 and n=5m based on the other parts of the description. \n" ); document.write( "Substitution of n, \n" ); document.write( "m+5m=198 \n" ); document.write( "6m=198 \n" ); document.write( "m=33 \n" ); document.write( "Use the value in n=5m, \n" ); document.write( "n=165\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "------------------------------------------ \n" ); document.write( "SUMMARY: \n" ); document.write( "Both of these are multiples of 3, and 165=5*33 \n" ); document.write( "Both numbers are odd. \n" ); document.write( "------------------------------------------ \n" ); document.write( " |
