Answer:
First number=6
Second number=14
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the first number be x
So the second number is x+8
So the sum of the two is
X+x+8=20
2x+8=20
2x=20-8
2x=12
X=12/2
=6
The second number will x+8
So 6+8=14
First number=6
Second number=14
Answer:
x = 11
distributive law
additive law
multiplication property
Step-by-step explanation:
Given in the question an equation
4(x-7) = 2x-6
Distributive law
a(b+c) = ab +ac
4x - 4(7) = 2x - 6
4x -28 = 2x - 6
Use the addition property of equality to reduce the 2x on the right.
4x - 2x - 28 = 2x - 2x -6
4x -2x -28 = -6
Use the addition property of equality to reduce -28 to zero on the left.
4x - 2x- 28 + 28 = -6 + 28
2x = 22
Use the multiplication property of equality to reduce 2x to just x
2x2 = 22/22
x = 22/2
x = 11
