Let the number be x
Equation:
12 + 5x = -3
Answer: The equation is 12 + 5x = -3
Solve it:
5x = -3 - 12
5x = -15
x = -15 ÷ 5
x = -3
Answer: The number is -3.
If u take you answer as x and do the problem u will see that they are equal so u would have to have a different answers for x or say -6.1 is greater than or equal to -17.4 + 11.3
Step-by-step explanation:
Let, 1st number be x and 2nd number be y
Then,
equation 1
x = 16+y
equation 2
x + y = 120
or, y = 120 - x
now,
x = 16 + y
or, x= 16 + 120 - x (putting the value of y from equation 2 )
or, x + x = 136
or, 2x =136
or, x= 136/2
or, x =68
Then,
y = 120-x
or, y= 120- 68 (putting the value of x)
or, y= 52
Hence, the two numbers are 68 and 52.
