Question

so I don't understand any of this, my lecture didn't explain how to solve this.

Answer 1

Answer:

38.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets say, first number = x

Second number = 3x+7

Total = 49

(x)+(3x+7)= 49

4x+7 = 49

4x = 42

x = 42/4

x= 10.5

x= 10.5

3x+7 = 3(10.5)+7 = 38.5

Hope this helps!!
