Write a system of equation based on the number
For an instance, the two numbers are a and b.
"The sum of two numbers is 59" can be written as follows.
⇒ a + b = 59 <em>(first equation)
</em>"The difference is 15" can be written as follows.
⇒ a - b = 15 <em>(second equation)</em>
Solve the system of equation by elimination/substitution method.
First, eliminate b to find the value of a.
a + b = 59
a - b = 15
--------------- + (add)
2a = 74
a = 74/2
a = 37
Second, substitute 37 as a in one of the equations
a + b = 59
37 + b = 59
b = 59 - 37
b = 22
The numbers are 37 and 22
Answer:
E
Step-by-step explanation:
let a, b, c represent the number of students in 6th, 7th, 8th grade
ratio of students : teachers = 28 : 1
There are 82 teachers , so 28 × 82 = 2296 students
Then
a + b + c = 2296 , that is
828 + b + c = 2296 ( subtract 828 from both sides )
b + c = 1468 → E
Answer:
b=135
c=45
