Question #1f709

Answer 1

39

Explanation:

If larger number is `y` and smaller number is `x` then

Given that,
`y = (3x)/2`

Also,
`y - x = 13`
Substitute `y = (3x)/2`
`(3x)/2 - x = 13`

`x(3/2 - 1) = 13`

`x/2 = 13`

`x = 26`

`y= (3/2) * x = (3*26)/2 = 39`

Answer 2

Larger Number `=39`

Explanation:

If larger number is `y` and smaller number is `x` then

Given that,
`y = (3x)/2`

Also,
`y - x = 13`
Substitute `y = (3x)/2`
`(3x)/2 - x = 13`

`x(3/2 - 1) = 13`

`x/2 = 13`

`x = 26`

So Larger Number `y=26+13=39`
