Hello!

You can make two expressions based on what you know

x + y = 170
x - y = 110

You can add these expressions to eliminate y

2x = 280

Divide both sides by 2

x = 140

You can now put x into one of the original expression

140 + y = 170

Subtract 140 from both sides

y = 30

So the greater number is 140

Hope this helps!

FInd three consecutive even integers such that three times the smallest is four more than twice the largest
Oksanka [162]

n, n + 2, n + 4 - three consecutive even integers

3n = 2(n + 4) + 4     |use distributive property

3n = (2)(n) + (2)(4) + 4

3n = 2n + 8 + 4

3n = 2n + 12    |subtract 2n from both sides

n = 12

n + 2 = 12 + 2 = 14

n + 4 = 12 + 4 = 16

Answer: 12, 14, 16.
