Put 
in equation (i)
Put in equation (iii)
Multiply equation (iv) by 5 and equation (v) by 6 and then subtract both the equations.
Put 
in equation
Put 
in equation (i)
Step-by-step explanation:
(3x-4y)×(3x-4y-(3x+4y))
(3x-4y)×(3x-4y-3x-4y)
(3x-4y)×(-8y)
-8y×(3x-4y
Answer: 1.95$.
19.50 x .9 = 17.55
19.50 - 17.55 = 1.95
Therefore the answer is indeed 1.95$.
First number = X
second number = x +26 ( exceeds means higher so add 26)
x + x+26 = 58
combine like terms:
2x + 26 = 58
subtract 26 from each side:
2x = 58-26
2x = 32
divide both sides by 2:
x = 32/2
x = 16
first number is 16
second number = 16+26 = 42
