5x+12z Because you take, 3z+9z and that is equivalent to 12z. and then you put the 5x back into the equation so it is 5x+12z
5% = 0.5
0.5n = 85
Divide by 0.5
0.5n = 85
/0.5 /0.5
n = 170.
The number is 170.
The first number is x
the second number is 2x-4
combine both numbers = 80
x+2x-4=80
3x-4=80
3x=84
x=28
one number is 28 and the other is 52.
