When you talk about balanced equations you are talking about chemistry.

Chemical equation balance is to make sure that there are the same number of atoms of a given element in the right side than in the left side.

It is a chemical principle, the atoms do not create or destroy in a chemical reaction, then you have to count the same number of every kind of atoms in the left side than in the right side.

For example:H2 + O2 -> H2O is not balanced because there two atoms of oxygen in the left side and  1 atom of oxygen in the right side.

To balance this equation you have to insert coefficients:

2H2 + O2 -> 2H2O. Now you have 4 atoms of hydrogen in each side, and 2 atoms of oxygen in each side, making sure that none atoms was created or destroyed in the reaction.

An equation is balanced when both sides of the equation are equal to each other, hence making the equals sign in-between accurate. You must keep an equation balanced because, if you do not, the sides are not equal and your equal sign is false, leading your whole equation to be false.

The sum of two numbers is 64. The difference between the numbers is 14. Write a system
Anastasy [175]

Answer:

They say that the sum of the two numbers (x and y) is 64, so we can write our first equation by adding them and setting that sum equal to 64:

x + y = 64

The question also tells us that their difference is 14. Similarly to before, we'll just subtract the two numbers and set that difference equal to 14:

x - y = 14

Now from here, you know how to continue with substitution to find the values for x and y. Just remember when you get a word problem to break it down and look for key words like sum, difference, or product, and from there you'll be able to build your system of equations.
