What is the answer on this problem Nine times larger number is 186 more than seven times the smallertheir sum is 42 what are the numbers?
Let the larger number be x, the smaller be y.
Equations:
9 * x = 7 * y + 186
x + y = 42
I'll start by solving the first equation for y:
y = 42 - x
Now, substituting into the first equation:
9 * x = 7 * (42 - x) + 186
9 * x = 294 - 7 * x + 186
9 * x = - 7 *x + 480
Adding 7 * x to both sides, then dividing by 16:
16 * x = 480
x = 30
Now, substituting the value of x back into the second equation:
y = 42 - 30 = 12
So x = 30, y = 12
