I need to have 2 numbers of different value. they should both add up to 11.5. The bigger number needs to be 3.75 times larger than the smaller one. thanks. basically x+y=11.5 y=3.75x
>x+y=11.5
>y=3.75x
x+3.75x=11.5
4.75x=11.5
x=11.5/4.75
>>334796
not op but i was trying to figure out this without using numbers, i still don't get the right answer
4.75x=11.5
x=11.5/1.75
x=2.42
check
y=2.42 x 3.75
y=9.08
11.5 = 9.08 + 2.42
(9.08 and 2.42 have longer decimals but I rounded up and down to ease the equation. it also works when the numbers aren't rounded)
pic unrelated
my bad didn't mean 1.75. meant 4.75
