The sum means addition
v + 3
2/7.
2/7 + 5/7 =1 Just add the numerator if the denominator is the same
To solve this, set up two equations using the information you're given. Let's call our two numbers a and b:
1) D<span>ifference of two numbers is 90
a - b (difference of two numbers) = 90
2) The quotient of these two numbers is 10
a/b (quotient of the two numbers) = 10
Now you can solve for the two numbers.
1) Solve the second equation for one of the variables. Let's solve for a:
a/b = 10
a = 10b
2) Plug a =10b into the first equation and solve for the value of b:
a - b = 90
10b - b = 90
9b = 90
b = 10
3) Using b = 10, plug it back into one of the equations to find the value of a. I'll plug it back into the first equation:
a - b = 90
a - 10 = 90
a = 100

Answer: The numbers are 100 and 10</span>
6x - 10(x + 12) = -4x - 24
<em><u>Distributive property.</u></em>
6x - 10x - 120 = -4x - 24
<em><u>Add 10x to both sides.</u></em>
6x - 120 = 6x - 24
<em><u>Cancel like terms.</u></em>
<em>Add 24 to both sides.</em>
-96 ≠ 0.
This equation is incorrect, as -96 will never be equal to 0.
