Step-by-step solution

4 steps

Part a· 2 steps

2×Δ+13=372 \times \Delta + 13 = 37

  1. Isolate the term with Δ\Delta.

    2×Δ=37−132 \times \Delta = 37 - 13 2×Δ=242 \times \Delta = 24
  2. Solve for Δ\Delta.

    Δ=242\Delta = \frac{24}{2} Δ=12\Delta = 12

    Using the train and improvement method:

    problem solution (Δ\Delta)testconclusion
    102×10+13=20+13=332 \times 10 + 13 = 20 + 13 = 3333<3733 < 37, too low
    152×15+13=30+13=432 \times 15 + 13 = 30 + 13 = 4343>3743 > 37, too high
    122×12+13=24+13=372 \times 12 + 13 = 24 + 13 = 3737=3737 = 37, correct

    The solution is Δ=12\boxed{\Delta = 12}.

Part b

Δ=7\Delta = 7

14×Δ−21=7714 \times \Delta - 21 = 77

  1. Isolate the term with Δ\Delta.

    14×Δ=77+2114 \times \Delta = 77 + 21 14×Δ=9814 \times \Delta = 98
  2. Solve for Δ\Delta.

    Δ=9814\Delta = \frac{98}{14} Δ=7\Delta = 7

    Using the train and improvement method:

    problem solution (Δ\Delta)testconclusion
    514×5−21=70−21=4914 \times 5 - 21 = 70 - 21 = 4949<7749 < 77, too low
    1014×10−21=140−21=11914 \times 10 - 21 = 140 - 21 = 119119>77119 > 77, too high
    714×7−21=98−21=7714 \times 7 - 21 = 98 - 21 = 7777=7777 = 77, correct

    The solution is Δ=7\boxed{\Delta = 7}.
