Question

A number is three less than 4 times another. If their sum is equal to 32, then the greatest number is?​

Answer 1

25 is the answer dude bye bye

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let n = 4m-3

and m+n = 27.

Then m+4m-3 = 27.

So 5m-3 = 27.

So 5m = 27+3 = 30.

So m = 30/5 = 6.

So n = 4m-3 = 4*6–3 = 24–3 = 21.

CHECK: m+n = 6+21 = 27.

So the numbers are 6 and 21.
