Answer:
The denominators are not equal.
Step-by-step explanation:
X is the number
when x is decreased by 18, we say 18-x
the result is 14
18-x=14
minus 18 both sides
-x=-32
times both sides by -1
x=32
24:14 and 36:21 are both equivalent ratios to 12:7

1 Expert Answer
Let x and y be the two numbers. Then by assumptions we have x+y=30 and x-y=20. Hence, y=x-20 and by plugging this into the first equation we obtain x+x-20=30 or 2x=50 or x=25 and y=5
Step-by-step explanation:
So, divide 30 by 2 . That gives you 15 for x, 15 for y. Now, you have difference of six, divide by two, that equals 3.
50(30%) = 15
50 - 15 = 35
35 (6%) = 2.1
35 + 2.1 = $37.10
the total cost of his order is $37.10 !!
