The larger of two numbers is three times the
smaller. the difference between the numbers
is 14. find the numbers.

small number = 7

larger number = 21

Step-by-step explanation:

Let small number = x

and

The larger number = 3x ( it says larger number is 3 times the smaller number)

3x - x = 14 ( difference between the two numbers is 14)

2x = 14

x = 14/2

x = 7

therefore the larger number = 3x

3*7 = 21

and the smaller number = 7

the answer is 13/48

step-by-step explanation:

answer: bea's uncle is 25 years old.

step-by-step explanation:

given the equation , we can say that the variable "x" represents the age of bea's uncle. then to find his age, we need to solve for "x":

we must add 15 to both sides of the equation:

now we need to divide both sides of the equation by 3:

therefore, we can conclude that bea's uncle is 25 years old.
