There are 36 inches in a yard. Multiply 36x8 to get 288. Divide this by 6 for each segment of string which would equal 48 strands.
Let, the numbers are: 8x, 5x
It is given that, 8x - 5x = 24
3x = 24
x = 24/3
x = 8
So, 8x = 8(8) = 64
also, 5x = 5(8) = 40
In short, Numbers would be 40 and 64
Hope this helps!

<span>1st</span></span><span> formula 2n + 3m = 280
</span><span><span>
</span><span>2nd</span></span><span> formula 2n + 5m = 320
</span><span><span>
</span><span>rearrange 1st</span> formula to equal n:</span>
<span><span>2n = -3m + 280
</span>
</span><span>n = -3/2
m + 140
</span><span><span>
</span><span>rearrange 2nd</span> formula to equal n:</span>
<span><span>2n = -5m + 320
</span>
</span><span>n = -5/2m + 160
</span><span><span>
so now you have
</span>-3/2m + 140 = -5/2m + 160 </span>
<span><span>Rearrange to become:
</span>
</span><span><span>-3/2m + 5/2m = 160 - 140
</span>
</span><span>m = 20
</span><span>
</span>
<span>Now place 20 into the very 1st</span><span><span> equation in place
of the letter m
</span>
</span><span><span>2n + 3(20) = 280
</span>
</span><span><span>2n + 60 = 280
</span>
</span><span><span>2n = 220
</span>
</span><span>n = 110
</span><span><span>
</span>so it costs $110 per night, $20 per meal</span>
