Question 431706: The sum of two numbers is 35. 3 times the larger is the same as 4 times the smaller number.... Just need help setting up pronlem Answer by jorel1380(3719) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! If 3 times a number is equal to 4 times a smaller number, then 3x=4y.
In this case x+y=35, and 3x=4y.
3x+3y=105
4y+3y=105
7y=105
y=15
x=20.
