<PRE><B>Question 476743</B>
The Sum of Two Numbers is 133.Four times the smaller of the two numbers equals three times the greater number. 

I tried setting it up, but I am haveing a hard time.

 4x=133-3x
If x is one number, 133-x is the other.  You have to multiply 3 x (133-x)
------------            
 7x=133                 
  x=19 
                
19*4=76
76/3=25.33
19+25.33 doesn&#39;t= 133
----------------------------
4x = 3*(133-x)  You subtracted 3x
4x = 399 - 3x
7x = 399
x = 57 is the smaller number
76 is the other number
