Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

let x = big number

let you = small number

x + y = 215-------> (1)

x - y = 137 ------>(2)

(1)

x = 215 - y ----->(1)

substitute 1 into 2

215 - y -y = 137

-2 y = 78

y = 39

substitute y = 39 into (1)

x = 215 - (39)

x = 176

thus the numbers are 176 & 39

hope this helps

The total cost of a jacket and a pair of pants was $66.12. If the price of the jacket was $3.26 less than the pair of pants, wha
drek231 [11]

Answer:

The price of the jacket was $31.43

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the cost of a jacket = x

Let the cost of a pair of pants = y

Such that,

x + y = $66.12.........Equation 1.

From the conditional statement,

x = y - $3.26..........Equation 2.

Solve both equations simultaneously, using the substitution method

From Equation 2;

x = y - 3.26

Substitute y - 3.26 for x in Equation 1.

x + y = 66.12, now becomes,

y - 3.26 + y = 66.12

collect like terms

y + y = 66.12 + 3.26

2y = 69.36

y= 69.36/2 = $34.69.

Put y = $34.69 in Equation 2. to obtain x

x = 34.69 - 3.26

x = $31.43
