If 4x is 9 greater than the sum of x and 3y, then x is how much greater than y?
If 4x is 9 greater than the sum of x and 3y, then x is how much greater than y? Correct Answer 3
Here, 4x = x + 3y + 9 or, 4x - x - 3y = 9 or, 3x - 3y = 9 or, 3(x - y) = 9 or, (x - y) = 9/3 = 3 So, x is 3 greater than y.
