The larger of two numbers is three times the
smaller. the difference between the numbers
is 14. find the numbers.

small number = 7

larger number = 21

Step-by-step explanation:

Let small number = x

and

The larger number = 3x ( it says larger number is 3 times the smaller number)

3x - x = 14 ( difference between the two numbers is 14)

2x = 14

x = 14/2

x = 7

therefore the larger number = 3x

3*7 = 21

and the smaller number = 7

$25

step-by-step explanation:

25 - 4.50 = 20.5

20.5 / 2 = 10.25

10.25 + 10 = 20.25

20.25 - 12.50 = 7.75

therefore the answer is $25 as shown as the first number.
