Answer:

x = 181 and y = 97

Step-by-step explanation:

let called the first number is x

the second number would be called y

We are given that:

x + y = 278 (1)

x = y + 84 (2)

Let change x in (2) into (1):

y + 84 + y = 278

2y + 84 = 278

Subtract 84 from both side, we got:

2y + 84 - 84 = 278 - 84

2y + 0 = 194

Divide both side by 2, we got:

2y / 2 = 194 / 2

y = 97

Because y = 97 and x + y = 278 so x would equal:

x + 97 = 278

Subtract 97 from both side, we got:

x + 97 - 97 = 278 - 97

x + 0 = 181

x = 181 and y = 97

Hope this helped :3

Three friends Steve, Jake and Jodie shared a pizza. Steve ate 2/5 of the pizza and Jake ate 1/4
nlexa [21]
Note that they together ate all of the pizza.
Therefore the total fractions they ate should add up to 1.

By letting the fraction Jodie ate be x.

x + 2/5 + 1/4 = 1
x = 7/20

The answer is 7/20.

Given that R=9x+8y find x when y=8 and R=4
Ilya [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

R = 9x + 8y

4 = 9x + 8*8

4 = 9x + 64

Subtract 64 from both sides

4 - 64 = 9x + 64 - 64

-60 = 9x

Divide both sides by 9

-60/9 = 9x/9

-20/3 = x

x = -6 2/3
