Write an expression for each statement and then simplify it, if possible. g
There are two numbers, that sum up to 53. Three times the smaller number is equal to 19 more than the larger number. What are the numbers ?

If the smaller number is x, then the equation is
. The numbers are
,
.

x = 18; y = 35

Step-by-step explanation:

This gives us the equation:

1. x+y=53

2. 3x=y+19

3. 3x-y=19

Add the first and last line together: x+y+3x-y=53+19

Simplifies to: 4x=72

Divide by 4 to get: x = 18

Plug your numbers into the first equation to get 18+y=53; y = 35.

The numbers are 18 and 35.

Step-by-step explanation:

The smaller number is x.

Let the other number by y.

Three times the smaller number is equal to 19 more than the larger number.

3x = y + 19

The larger number is

y = 3x - 19

the numbers add up to 53

x + y = 53

x + 3x - 19 = 53

4x = 72

x = 18

y = 3x - 19 = 3(18) - 19 = 54 - 19 = 35

The numbers are 18 and 35.

hi,

you half the rectangle that you ae asking about so then you would see the scale factor of 1/2 the one u have selected, the one on top is half.

hope this !
