One number is one third of another number. The sum of both numbers is 16. Find the numbers.

4 and 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the "another number"

Therefore, "one number" is 1/3x

1/3 x + x = 4/3 x

4/3 x = 16

1/3 x = 4

x = 12

Therefore, the numbers are 4 and 12.

12 and 4

Step-by-step explanation:

we can solve this through a system of equations.

one number is a third of the other

1/3x = y

added together they equal sixteen

x + y = 16

substitute in for y

1/3x + x = 16

x = 12

put this in the original equation and

y = 4

hi,

i'm 75% sure the answer is 1,1 to both lines.

have a great day

this is a very good question

step-by-step explanation:

i got a hair cut today from my mom not to flex just to flex kim jon un is one rad fellow i'd say you'd need to take the hairline in kinda like a box shape like someone rammed a lego brick into your head. from there you really need to take the top up keeping with that boxy aesthetic, finally coat the whole thing with gel if your country economics are failing or whatever you can just coat it with the starving children's food rations. about 5 orphans per strand is a good ratio. good luck with the fresh cut my dude
