6 + 8x = 30
Problem written out
8x = 24
Subtracted 6 to get 8x alone
x = 3
Divided 8 to get your answer!
Answer:
19 and 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the first number and y represents second number
x + y = 19
x - y = 17 add two equations up
2x = 36 divide both sides by 2
x = 19 and since the difference is 17 the other number is 2
