8 months agoif we let "n" be "the smaller number" how can we write "the greater number is 9 more than the smaller number"?
8 months ago"9 more" implies we are adding 9 to the smaller number so greater number is "n + 9"
8 months ago"sum of two numbers is 47." therefore smaller number + greater number = 49 therefore n + (n+9) = 49
8 months agonow, looking at the answer choices, they use the variable x instead of n (whoops) so simply change the variable from n to x
