Step-by-step explanation:
question i may help
X and y are the numbers
x>y
diffference is 42
x-y=42
larger is 3 less than 6 times smaller
x=-3+6y
subsitute -3+6y for x
x-y=42
-3+6y-y=42
-3+5y=42
add3 to both sides
5y=45
divide both sides by 5
y=9
sub back
x=-3+6y
x=-3+6(9)
x=-3+54
x=51
the numbers are 51 and 9
Divide each term by 3...
15n - 8 = 3(5n - 6)
She sold 2592 pears. If 2592/3=864 then when the total of pears and apples are added it should equal 3,456
2592+864=3456
