Sum means add
x+y=39
difference is 5
x-y=5
so we do this
x-y=5
add y to both sides
x=5+y
subsitute 5+y for x
5+y+y=39
add like terms
5+2y=39
subtract 5
2y=34
divide by 2
y=17
subsitute
x=5+y
x=5+17
x=22

the larger number is 22

If John has 1107 bars of chocolate and wants to give each of his 10 friends an even amount each, what would each friend get? Wha
Nutka1998 [239]
Divide 1107 by 10, for example:

1107/10= 110.7

The decimal point means the remainder, this means John will only get 7 chocolate bars. 

If You want it split evenly between ALL of them, divide by 1107 by 11, for example: 

1107/11= 100.6, which would leave six bars left, so I think the logical offer would be the first answer I gave you. 

I hope this helped!

If he is adding $35 to his account each month, then all you have to do is divide the amount you need by the amount you are earning each month to get the number of months until you reach your goal.

$280 divided by $35 is 8, so it would take 8 months for Manuel to reach his goal.
