Question

it is a word problem and i need to put it as an equation.

Answer 1

If you use 'x' as the small number, you can create the following equation:

x+(5x+7)=55

then you simplify the equation:

6x+7=55

6x=48

x=8

Therefore the small number is 8 and the large number is 47.

You can check your answer by adding the number and see if you end up with a sum of 55.

8+47=55

That your answer
