Write a system of equation based on the number
For an instance, the two numbers are a and b.
"The sum of two numbers is 59" can be written as follows.
⇒ a + b = 59 <em>(first equation)
</em>"The difference is 15" can be written as follows.
⇒ a - b = 15 <em>(second equation)</em>
Solve the system of equation by elimination/substitution method.
First, eliminate b to find the value of a.
a + b = 59
a - b = 15
--------------- + (add)
2a = 74
a = 74/2
a = 37
Second, substitute 37 as a in one of the equations
a + b = 59
37 + b = 59
b = 59 - 37
b = 22
The numbers are 37 and 22
Answer:
3 : 5
Step-by-step explanation:
The ratio is 9 : 15 , but since we're simplifying to lowest terms, I divided each value by 3
Ratio: 2:7
2+7 = 9
747 / 9 = 83
83*2 = 166
83 * 7 = 581
166 to 581
