You can put this solution on YOUR website!
lets call the smaller number x
\n" ); document.write( "smaller number = x
\n" ); document.write( "Given: the larger number is 9 more than four times the smaller
\n" ); document.write( "Write this in terms of x
\n" ); document.write( "larger number = 4x + 9
\n" ); document.write( "Given: if the larger number is increased by four times the smaller the result is 40
\n" ); document.write( "Write this as an equation and solve for x
\n" ); document.write( "larger number plus four times smaller equals forty
\n" ); document.write( "(4x+9) + 4x = 40
\n" ); document.write( "4x + 9 + 4x = 40
\n" ); document.write( "8x + 9 = 40
\n" ); document.write( "8x = 31
\n" ); document.write( "x = 3.875
\n" ); document.write( "So the smaller number is 3.875
\n" ); document.write( "use this to find the larger number
\n" ); document.write( "larger number = 4x + 9
\n" ); document.write( "larger number = 4(3.875) + 9
\n" ); document.write( "larger number = 15.5 + 9
\n" ); document.write( "larger number = 24.5\r
