PLEASE HELP, I NEED THE ANSWERS ASAP, I WILL AWARD BRAINLIEST!

There are two numbers, one is 7 more than twice the other. The sum of the numbers is 43.

Make the equation to find the smaller number.

Find the two numbers.

Answer Format

If the smaller number is x, the equation will be .

The numbers in ascending order are ___ and ___.

MUST SHOW ALL WORK PLEASE!

1. The larger number is 2x + 7. The smaller number is x.

Let x be the smaller number

(7 + 2x) + x = 43

Since they are all in addition, we can get rid of the parenthesis.

7 + 2x + x = 43

2x and x are similar variables, we can add them both together.

7 + 3x = 43

7 + (-7) + 3x = 43 + (-7)

3x = 36

3x/3 = 36/3

x = 12

Let's check

[7 + 2(12)] + 12

(7 + 24) + 12

31 + 12 = 43

-3

step-by-step explanation:

a drawing really does here:

so i draw the horizontal line y=2 and the vertical line x=-2 at this intersection i put b (this is where my right angle is going to be).   so point b is at (-2,2).   point a is 5 units long and is also on y=2 so this point has to be (3,2) or (-7,2) -doesn't matter i will go with (3,2).

now we know c is at (-2,y) we don't know the y yet bet we know that c is on x=-2.

we have the area of the triangle is .5bh=12.5

we know the base length is 5 (ab)

we have the height is (2-y) if you look at your

plug in

.5(5)(2-y)=12.5

solve for y to get the y-coordinate for c

2.5(2-y)=12.5

divide both sides by 2.5 giving:

2-y=5

now subtract 2 on both sides

-y=3

y=-3

false
