The difference between two numbers is 27. Three times the smaller is equal to 7 more than the larger. What are the numbers?

17 and 44

Step-by-step explanation:

[X is smaller number Y is bigger number]

y-x=27 3x=7+y y-17=27

y=27+x 3x=7+27+x y=44

3x=34+x

2x=34 x=17

it's equivalent, so we can say that its equal.

let's call the denominator x and the numerador is 18 less then denominator, x - 18.

multiply

2.x = 5.(x - 18)

2x = 5x - 90

90 = 5x - 2x

90 = 3x

x = 90/3

x = 30

so:
