Answer:
24/13 or 1.8
Step-by-step explanation:
27b -3 - 14b -21 = 0
13b - 24 = 0
13b = 24
b = 24/13 or 1.8
all work is pictured and shown
10 and 4.
Let x be the first number.
Let y be the second number.
x + y = 2x - 6
x - y = 4y - 10
x = 4y - 10 + y
x = 5y - 10
(5y - 10) + y = 2(5y - 10) - 6
6y - 10 = 10y - 20 - 6
6y - 10 = 10y - 26
6y - 10y = -26 + 10
-4y = -16
y = 4
x - (4) = 4(4) - 10
x - 4 = 16 - 10
x - 4 = 6
x = 6 + 4
x = 10
