4x-7=61
+7. +7
4x=68
/4. /4
X=17
Smaller number=44

Answer 2

Large number and small number are 44 and 17

Given:

Sum of two number = 61

Find:

Both numbers

Assume;

Small number = a

Large number = 3a - 7

Computation:

a + 3a - 7 = 61

4a - 7 = 61

4a = 61 + 7

4a = 68

a = 68 / 4

a = 17

So,

Small number = 17

Large number = 3a - 7

Large number = 3(17) - 7

Large number = 51 - 7

Large number = 44
