So if the dress is 25% off, that means you are paying 75% of the original price.
sale price = original price x 0.75
225 = original price x 0.75
divide both sides by 0.75 to isolate original price
225/0.75 = (original price x 0.75)/0.75
300 = original price
Well, the quotient must be bigger/smaller
lets say the numbers are x and y
x>y
so
x-y=30 and x/y=6
multiply both sides by y in 2nd equation
x=6y
subsitute 6y for x in other equation
6y-y=30
5y=30
divide by 5
y=6
sub back
x=6y
x=6(6)
x=36
the numbers are 36 and 6
but they could also be -36 and -6 because -36/-6=6 and -6-(-36)=30
the 2 numbers are 36 and 6 or -36 and -6
X + y = 32 . . . . . . . . (1)
x - y = 6 . . . . . . . . (2)
(1) + (2): 2x = 38
x = 19
Answer:
3 > x
x=2
because 3 is larger than 2
