Question

If the product of two numbers is 14 and one of the numbers is 3 ½ times the other, then what is the sum of the two numbers?

Answer 1

Answer:

ANSWER IS 9; THE SUM OF THE TWO NUMBERS IS 9;

Step-by-step explanation:

LET THE BIGGER NUMBER BE X ;

SO, THE SMALLER NUMBER = 3   1/2 X

SO THE SMALLER NUMBER IN PURE FRACTION = 7/2 X

SO, ACCORDING TO THE QUESTION , 7/2 X   * X

SO 7/2 X² = 14

X² = 14 * 2 /7

SO, X² = 4

X = √4

X = 2;

THE SMALLER NUMBER = 7 / 2 * 2

= 7 ;

NOW, THE SMALLER NUMBER = 2 AND THE BIGGER NUMBER = 7

WHOSE PRODUCT IS 14

NOW, THE SUM OF 2 AND 7 =

2+7 =

9 .

SO , THE FINAL ANSWER IS 9 .
