Answer: 38

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: use variables to replace the two numbers

the second number = x

six more than twice the second number = 2x + 6

Their sum is 120: 3x + 6 = 120

Step 2: solve the equation

3x = 114

x = 114/3 = 38

Step 3: check your answer (optional)

six more than twice 38 = 82

38 + 82 = 120

hope this helps

How to solve 4y=x 3x- y=70 using substitution
creativ13 [48]
X = 4y
3x - y = 70

substitute the x in the second equation with the other half of the first equation.

3(4y) - y = 70
12y - y = 70
11y = 70
y = 6.36 repeating, or 6 4/11

now use this to solve first equation
x = 4 (6 4/11)
x = 25.45 repeating

done
