The larger of two numbers on three times the smaller. if the sum of the two numbers is 36 find the number?

9 and 27

Step-by-step explanation:

The larger of two numbers is three times the smaller.

Larger number = 3x

ATQ,

x+3x = 36

4x = 36

x = 9

Smaller number = 9

Larger number = 3x = 3(9) = 27

So, the numbers are 9 and 27.

the simplified form is

step-by-step explanation:

we want to simplify the expression,

let us change the middle bar to a normal division sign to obtain,

we multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction to obtain,

we factor to obtain,

we cancel the common factors to get,

we simplify to get,

the correct answer is b
