The larger of two numbers in 8 times the smaller. The difference between them is 42. Find the numbers. Write the equations. Find the numbers

Answer 1

smaller number -- x
larger number --- 8x

8x - x = 42
7x = 42
x = 6

numbers are 6 and 48

Answer 2

the larger of two numbers is three times the smaller number, and their difference id 34. find the two numbers.

Answer 3

Larger=L, Small=s, L=3S , L-S=34, 3s-s=34, 2s=34, S=34/2, S=17, check L=3(17)=51, 51-17=34, it checks
