one number is two more than thrice another. their sum is 30. find the numbers.

 



Sagot :

the answer is 7 and 23
let x be the number and 3x +2 be the larger number
x + 3x +2=30
4x+2=30
4x=28
x=7
30-7=23
answer is 7 and 23
 the equation is :

2 + 3x = 30
3x = 30 -  2
3x = 28
3x /3 = 28 / 3
x = 9.25 0r 9  1  /  3
