Answer:
a = 22
b = 7
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the two numbers be represented as a and b.
a + b = 29
a - b = 15
Using elimination method
Add both equations
2a = 44
Divide both sides by 2 to get a
2a/2 = 44/2
a = 22
Now substitute a = 22 in any of the equations to get b .
Using the first equation, we have
a + b = 29
22 + b = 29
Subtract 22 from both sides of the equation
22 - 22 + b = 29 - 22
b = 7
Therefore the two numbers are 22 and 7
We have,
x+y:x-y=3:2
To prove that, x+ y : x - y = 3:2.
x+y=3
And,
x+y = 2
Adding (1) and (2), we get
x+y+x-y=3+2
⇒2x=5
⇒ x =
Put x = in (1), we get
+y=3
⇒ y=3-=
x+y:x-y=
=3:2
So, x+y:x-y=3:2.
You solve by 140-68 which equals 72
So x=72 degrees
So,
To find the percentage that the copper comprises, just divide the amount of copper by the total amount of metal in the coin. In this case, we will change the denominator so that it is 100, which can easily be converted into a percentage, which is really just a fraction out of 100.

75%
75% of the metal in the coin is copper.
Answer is x is less than 4
