Question 458773: If one number exceeds another number by 13 and the larger number is 3/2 times the smaller number,then the smaller number is? Answer by simranb(63) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! LET THE SMALLER NUMBER BE X
THEN LARGER NUMBER IS X+13
ALSO LARGER NUMBER IS 3/2X
EQUATION
X+13=3/2X
X-3/2X=-13 =-13
2X-3=-13*2X
2X-3=-26X
2X+26X=3
28X=3
X=3/28
LARGER NUMBER=3/28*3/2
=9/56
SMALLER NUMBER=3/28
HOPE THIS HELPS!
