Question 1170398
<br>
The statement of the problem is flawed.<br>
In the initial statement, the use of "a number" in both places does NOT mean that those two numbers are the same; the two numbers can be different:<br>
a number more than 32: 32+x
15 more than twice a number: 2y+15<br>
The problem then says<br>
{{{(32+x)/(2y+15) = 7/6}}}<br>
This is an indeterminate equation with an infinite number of solutions; choose any number you want for one of the numbers and plug it into the equation to find the other number.<br>
The statement of the problem, in order to be solvable, should read<br>
"A number more than 32, divided by 15 more than twice the number, is equal to 7/6."<br>
