Answer:

10 and 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Let unknown numbers be x and y

x + y = 10.... (1)

x - y = 3....... (2)

This leads to simultaneous linear equations

We shall solve the equation by substitution method

From equation (1), we shall make x subject of formula to form a new equation (3)

x + y = 17

x = 17 - y ..... (3)

Now we substitute the value of x = 17 - y into equation (2)

x - y = 3

17 - y - y = 3

17 - 2y = 3

-2y = 3 - 17

-2y = -14

y = 7

Now we substitute this new value of y = 7 into equation (1)

x + y = 17..... (1)

x + 7 = 17

x = 17 - 7

x = 10

Therefore the two numbers are 7 and 10

7 + 10 = 17

10 - 7 = 3

x + 7

The difference of a number x and 4 is 3
Kruka [31]
"the difference of a number x and 4": x - 4
"is": =
"3": 3

Combine the terms so that it looks like the sentence numerically:

"the difference of a number x and 4 is 3": x - 3 = 4

x - 3 = 4 is your answer.

To solve for x:

Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Isolate the variable, x. Add 3 to both sides.

x - 3 = 4

x -3 (-3) = 4 (-3)

x = 4 - 3

x = 1

1 is your answer for x.

Ms. Lynch has 21 coins in nickels and dimes.
bulgar [2K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:So we know x + y = 21 and 5x +10y = 165 We line them up in columns    x +   y =   21  5x +10y = 165 To eliminate the x variable, I'll multiply every element in the 1st equation by -5. -5x + -5y = -105  5x + 10y =  165 Now we combine (add) the equations, which eliminates x altogether.  5y = 60   ...   y = 12 From there, x + 12 = 21  ...  x = 21-12  ...  x = 9 You should double check.  Do 9 nickles and 12 dimes equal $1.65? A very important thing to remember using this method is to do the same thing to each element in the equation that you change! I hope that helps.
