<em><u>Step-by-step explanation:</u></em>

If we want to prove that x is equal to seven, we should first solve the equation for x so:

2x + 8 = 5x - 13

We should first add 13 on both sides and subtract 2x from both sides:

2x + 8 + 13 - 2x = 5x - 13 + 13 - 2x

21 = 3x

We can then divide both sides by 3 to get:

x = 7

The sum of two numbers is 49 and the difference is 25 . What are the numbers?
OLEGan [10]

Answer:

x = 37 y = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be one number

Let y = other number

x+y = 49

x-y = 25

Add the equations together

x+y = 49

x-y = 25

---------------

2x = 74

Divide by 2

2x/2 = 74/2

x =37

x+y = 49

37+y = 49

Subtract 37 from each side

37+y-37 = 49-37

y = 12
