Hello from MrBillDoesMath
Answer: + 4/7, 6 (13/14)
Discussion:
Let L be the larger of the two numbers and S the smaller of the two. Then the first sentence translates into this:
-6L - L = -4 =>
-7L = -4 => (divide both sides by -7)
L = - (-4)/(-7) = + 4/7 (*)
The second sentence translates to
2 (L + S) = 15 => (divide both sides by 2)
(L +S) = 15/2 => (subtract L from each side)
S = 15/2 - L = 15/2 - 4/7 (using (*) above)
So
S = 15*7/(2*7) - (4*2)/(7*2) (combine over common denominator of 14)
S = 105/14 - 8/14 = 97/14 = 6 13/14
Something is crazy here! While 2(L +S) = 15 -- check it out -- our larger number L ( =4/7) is actually smaller than the S number (6 13/14)! Maybe I should have called them Y and X, respectively, as you suggested!
Thank you,

For this, we use simultaneous equations. Let George's page be g, Charlie's be c and Bill's page be b.
First, <span>George's page contains twice as many type words as Bill's.
Thus, g = 2b.
</span><span>Second, Bill's page contains 50 fewer words than Charlie's page.
Thus, b = c - 50.
</span>If each person can type 60 words per minute, after one minute (i.e. when 60 more words have been typed) <span>the difference between twice the number of words on bills page and the number of words on Charlie's page is 210.
We can express that as 2b - c = 210.
Now we need to find b, since it represents Bill's page.
We can substitute b for (c - 50) since b = c - 50, into the equation 2b - c = 210. This makes it 2(c - 50) - c = 210.
We can expand this to 2c - 100 - c = 210.
We can simplify this to c - 100 = 210.
Add 100 to both sides.
c - 100 + 100 = 210 + 100
Then simplify: c = 210 + 100 = 310.
Now that we know c, we can use the first equation to find b.
b = c - 50 = 310 - 50 = 260.
260 is your answer. I don't know where George comes into it. Maybe it's a red herring!</span>

Multiply .65 by 540 which gives you 351.
