25 > 2x + 8 - 66
first simplify all numbers
25 > 2x + (8 - 66)
25 > 2x - 58
Then add 58 to both sides
25 (+58) > 2x - 58 (+58)
83 > 2x
Finally divide 2 from both sides to isolate the x
83/2 > 2x/2
41.5 > x
hope this helps
Okay, so the equations would be:
x + 3y = 24
3y + 5x = 36
Imma use Substitution to solve this:
x = -3y + 24
3y + 5(-3y + 24) = 36
3y - 15y + 120 = 36
-12y + 120 = 36
-12y = -84
y = 7
x = -3(7) + 24
x = -21 + 24
x = 3
So the first number (x) would be 3 and the second number (y) would be 7.
12.3 is the answer i think
19.1 should be your answer
