    So a is lesser

    b is greater than make word problem into equations and than eliminate and solve.

    a-7 = b

    4b + 1/3a = 80

    to eliminate a or b need to be cancelled so you can multiply top by 4 to cancel b or - 1/3 to cancel a than combine meaning add the a, b, and constants together to form new equation than use basic math to solve.

    doing so you will get a or b now you can just plug in to 1 of the equation top or bottom to solve for other letter.

    Answer th numbers are 233/3 for b and 324/13 for a
