Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let 
be the greater number and 
be the smaller number. We know that their difference is 15, so we have
Then, we have the following information: if we add twice the greater (2x) and 8 (2x+8), the result is 3 times the lesser (3y) minus four (3y-4). So, we have
So, we have the follwing system:
From the first equation, we can derive 
, and substitute this expression in the second equation to get
Substitute this value for y in the first equation to get
Okie, so you have an whole number subtracted by a fraction of a number. The way to approach this problem is to convert whole number to the LCD (least common denominator) of the fraction. In this case it would be 6.
6 would be 36/6 (same number just different form)
now just subtract the numerators over the denominator
(36-1)/6 = 35 / 6 is your answer as an improper fraction. As a mixed number, it would be 5 5/6.
I hope this helps :-)
