Mathematics

Nina [5.8K]3 years ago

Answer:

194 and 66

Step-by-step explanation:

Represent the numbers by a and b.

Then a + b = 260 and a = 3b - 4.

Substitute 3b - 4 for a in the first equation.  Then:

3b - 4 + b = 260, and:

4b = 264, which works out to b = 66.  If b = 66, then a = 3(66) - 4 = 194.

The two numbers are 194 and 66.

Solve the equation for x and enter your answer in the box below <br> x + 14 =27
Helen [10]

Answer: x = 13

Step-by-step explanation: When solving an equation like this, we are trying to get our variable which is our letter by itself.

So we first want to ask ourselves what is the 14 doing to <em>x</em>. Well, we can see that it's being added to <em>x</em> so to get <em>x</em> by itself, we will do the opposite of addition which is subtraction. So we subtract 14 from both sides of the equation.

The +14 -14 cancels out so we're left with <em>x</em> on the left.

On the right, we must subtract 14 from 27 to get 13.

So we have x = 13 which is the solution to this equation.
