This is solved by setting up two equations and then using one to answer the other.
The first step (use what is given to set up the two separate equations)
We are looking for two numbers, let us call them X and Y. 
We are told that X + Y = 59
 We are also told that (9 more than) 9+ (4times the smaller number) 4Y is the bigger number X
Then we combine that into 9+4Y=X
so we now have two separate equations and we can use one to solve the other. Everywhere we have X in the first equation, we will fill in with the second equation
(9+4Y) +Y = 59    [then combine like terms]
9+5Y=59            [subtract 9 from both sides]
5Y=50                   [divide both sides by 5 to isolate the Y]
Y=10                      [now plug this into either equation to solve for X]
9+4(10)=X
9+40=X
<u><em>49=X and 10=Y</em></u>

Jake is comparing the prices of two mattress cleaning companies. Company A charges $30 per mattress and an additional $13 as ser
Musya8 [376]
I think it's :
Part A ; $30 * (x) + $13
$28 * (x) + $15
Part B ; so $30 * 4 + $13 = $133 vs.
$28 * 4 + $15 = $111 so that would mean company B Would charge the least amount.
Part C ; the difference between company a and company B prices is $22.
