Question

The sum of two numbers is 44 .one number is 3 times as large as the other. what are the numbers?

Answer 1

You can set it up like this:

x + 3x = 44

Combine like terms:

4x = 44

Divide both sides by 4:

x = 11.

So, one number is 11, and the other number (the larger one) is 33.

Hope this helps!! xx
