Answer:
let the a number be x
and the another number be 1/2 x
x+1/2x=141
take the LCM
(2x+x)/2=141
3x/2=141
3x=141×2
=282
x=282/3
x=94
so
x=94
1/2x=47
For this case we have to represent the numbers with the variables "x" and "y".
Then, according to the statement we have:
[tex]x = \frac {y} {2}\\x + y = 141[/tex]
We substitute the first equation in the second one:
[tex]\frac {y} {2} + y = 141\\\frac {y + 2y} {2} = 141\\3y = 2 * 141\\3y = 282\\y = \frac {282} {3}\\y = 94[/tex]
So:
[tex]x = \frac {94} {2}\\x = 47[/tex]
Answer:
The numbers are: 47 and 94
