Let's start by assigning variables for each of the numbers. Let the first one be x, the second one be y.

x + y = 36

x = 3y - 4

Now we solve using substitution.

3y - 4 + y = 36

This simplifies into:

4y = 32

y = 8.

Now we need to solve for x.

36 - 8 = 28 (because x + y = 36)

x = 28

Find the value of x.<br> (7x - 1)º<br> (6x - 1)º
dangina [55]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

7x - 1 + 6x - 1 = 180

13x - 2 = 180

13x = 182

x = 14

7(14) - 1 = 98 - 1= 97

6(14) - 1 = 84 - 1 = 83

Nine students made models of mars and its moons. The answer is 18. What’s the question?
VashaNatasha [74]

The answer would be "Nine students each make 2 models of Mars and its moons. How many models did they make in total?" Since the answer is 18 and there are 9 students (and also since 18 can be divided into 9), you can divide 18 and 9 to get 2. This makes sense because if each student makes 2 models (as stated), there'd be a total of 18 models (as stated in the question you gave). Hope this helped!

1(6x - 9) = (4x - 6)
ruslelena [56]

1(6x-9)=(4x-6)  

One solution was found :

                  x = 3/2 = 1.500

Rearrange:

Rearrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the equal sign from both sides of the equation :

                    1*(6*x-9)-((4*x-6))=0  

Step by step solution :

Step  1  :

Step  2  :

Pulling out like terms :

2.1     Pull out like factors :

  6x - 9  =   3 • (2x - 3)  

Equation at the end of step  2  :

 3 • (2x - 3) -  (4x - 6)  = 0  

Step  3  :

Equation at the end of step  3  :

 2x - 3  = 0  

Step  4  :

Solving a Single Variable Equation :

4.1      Solve  :    2x-3 = 0  

Add  3  to both sides of the equation :  

                     2x = 3

Divide both sides of the equation by 2:

                    x = 3/2 = 1.500

One solution was found :

                  x = 3/2 = 1.500
