Let's have the first number, the larger number, be <em>x</em>. We'll have the second, smaller number be <em>y</em>.
We know that x = y + 6, since x is 6 greater than y.
We also know that 330 = x + y.
Because x = y + 6, 330 = y + 6 + y, which simplifies to 330 = 2y + 6.
Now all we need to do is simplify the equation. First, we subtract 6 from both sides:
330 - 6 = 324
2y + 6 - 6 = 2y.
So we have 324 = 2y. Then we divide both sides by 2 to get:
162 = y
Plug in y = 162 into the equation x = y + 6 to get:
x = 162 + 6
x = 168
Let's check to make sure our answer is right. 168 is 6 more than 162. 162 + 168 equals 330. So our two numbers are 168 and 162.

20.75
Explanation:
Building the rule
The trick with algebra is to think what you would do with numbers, then substitute letters.
Mile number 1 costs
$
4.25
The rest of the miles
⇒
(
total miles
−
1
)
×
$
1.50
Putting this all together we have:
$
4.25
+
(
total miles
−
1
)
×
$
1.50
The question instructs that we are to use the letter m for the total miles so we now have:
$
4.25
+
(
m
−
1
)
×
$
1.50
This would be written as:
$
4.25
+
$
1.50
(
m
−
1
)
So
Total charge
=
$
4.25
+
$
1.50
(
m
−
1
)

A = pi(r)^2
diameter is 18in, so radius is 9in
= pi(9)^2
A = 254.469 (round is needed)
