Two numbers are in the ratio 4: 7. If thrice the
larger be added to twice the smaller, the sum is

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

the ratio 4:7 denotes that the numbers are 4x and 7x

thrice the larger number will mean 3(7x)

twice the smaller number will mean 2(4x)

when we add them both, the result is 59. this can be written as 3(7x) + 2(4x) = 59
