Let the smaller number be x.

Given, the larger number is 7 times the smaller number.

So, the larger number = 7x.

Given, 3 times the larger number is 7 more than 4 times the smaller number.

So we can write the equation as,


3(7x) = 4(x)+7


3(7x) = 4x+7


21x = 4x+7

Now we have to move 4x to the left side by subtracting 4x from both sides.


21x-4x = 4x-4x+7


21x-4x = 7


17x = 7

To get x, we will divide both sides by 17. We will get,


(17x)/(17) = (7)/(17)


x = (7)/(17)

So the smaller number =
(7)/(17)

The larger number =
7((7)/(17) ) =
(49)/(17)

So we have got the required numbers.

Smaller number =
(7)/(17) and larger number =
(49)/(17).
