Answer:
the first part of the book has 659 pages and the second part has 723 pages
Step-by-step explanation:
First we have to raise 2 equations, one that shows us the relationship between one part of the book and the other, and another equation that shows us that together they give us the total of pages
x = second part
y = first part
x = y + 64
x + y = 1382
As the first equation tells us that x = y + 64 we will replace x in the second equation with (y + 64)
x + y = 1382
(y + 64) + y = 1382
y + y = 1382 - 64
2y = 1318
y = 1318/2
y = 659
now we replace in the first equation to y by its value
x = y + 64
x = 659 + 64
x = 723
so the first part of the book has 659 pages and the second part has 723

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
x/4 - y/3 = 1..multiply everything by the LCD....which is 12
3x - 4y = 12 <== standard form
=====================================
if it makes it easier for u, x/4 is the same as (1/4)x and y/3 is the same as (1/3)y
so ur problem can be written as : (1/4)x - (1/3)y = 1....multiply by 12
12(1/4)x - 12(1/3)y = 12(1)
(12/4)x - (12/3)y = 12.....reduce
3x - 4y = 12
