One number is 36 less than another number if the sum of the two numbers is 104 find the two numbers
1 answer:
Hi!
<h3>Writing the equation</h3>
x - 36
x - 36 = y
- if the sum of the numbers is 104
<u>x + y = 104</u>
---------------------------------------------------------
<h3>Solving for x</h3>
- Put the value of y in the second equation.
x + x - 36 = 104
2x - 36 = 104
2x - 36 + 36 = 104 + 36
2x = 140
- Divide by 2 on both sides
2x/2 = 140/2
<u>x = 70</u>
-------------------------------------------------
<h3>Solving for y</h3>
70 + y = 104
70 - 70 + y = 104 - 70
<u>y = 34</u>
-------------------------------------------------
<h2>The two numbers are 70 and 34</h2>
Hope this helps! :)
