Question 267290
<font face="Garamond" size="+2">


Let *[tex \Large x] represent the first number.  Let *[tex \Large y] represent the other number.


Three times another number is then:  *[tex \Large 3y]


"Is" means "equals"


So,


*[tex \LARGE \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ x\ +\ 3y\ =\ 24]


I'll leave the other one for you to do -- the logic is the same.
