Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Small number = x - 14

Large number = x

x + x - 14 = 56

2x = 70

x = 35

Small number = 35 - 14 = 21

Large number = 35

Answer: small number = 21, big number = 35

Step-by-step explanation: let small number= x, big number= y

X+y=56

X-y =-14

Solving simultaneously adding the two equations

2x =42

X= 21

Substitute x in the first equations

21 +y =55

Y= 56-21

Y= 35

Solve the simultaneous equations y=3x+2 and y=x+6
kogti [31]

Answer:

x=2

Step-by-step explanation:

y=3x+2

y=x+6

Since you're stating that, they both equal because equation is equated to equation 2 because of the Y.

Therefore, substitute into both equations as shown:

3x+2=x+6

3x-x=6-2  (bring 2 to the other side by subtracting 2 as well as x)

2x=4

2x/2=4/2  (dividing 2 on both sides to get rid off 2 in 2x)

x=2.
