Answer:

  • 7 people
  • 53 coins

Step-by-step explanation:

The problem statement tells us ...

  8x = y +3

  7x = y -4

Subtracting the second equation from the first gives ...

  x = 7

Then ...

  y = 7x +4 = 7·7 +4 = 53

There are 7 people, and 53 coins are required for purchase.

Need help like right now.

Let's go:


Big triangle:

12 + 3x - 6 = 3x + 6

10 + 8 = 18


\frac{10}{18} = \frac{3x - 6}{3x + 6} \\\\ 10.(3x + 6) = 18.(3x - 6) \\\ 30x + 60 = 54x - 108 \\\ 54x - 30x = 60 + 108 \\\ 24x = 168 \\\ x = 7


I hope I helped you.
