Let's set these two numbers as 'a' and 'b'

Now, let's set up equations based on the information known:

  • the sum of the two numbers is 52 --> a + b = 52
  • the difference is 28 --> a - b =28

Equations

  • a + b = 52 -- equation 1
  • a - b = 28 -- equation 2

Solve:

  (Equation 1) + (Equation 2)

  2a = 80

     a = 40 -- equation 3

  (Equation 3)

     40 + b = 52

       b = 12

So a  = 40 and b = 12

Hope that helps!

How many solutions does 2x+2-3x=3x-4
DerKrebs [107]

Answer:

1 solution (x = 1.5)

Step-by-step explanation:

2x + 2 - 3x = 3x - 4

First, combine like terms

2 - x = 3x - 4

Add 4 to both sides

6 - x = 3x

Add x to both sides

6 = 4x

Divide both sides by 4

1.5 = x

Y is increased by 6 because if you imagine x being 3 then y would = 16 but if you increase x by 3 making 6 then y would = 22 and 16 increased by 6 is 22
