Question

for times a number is six more than three lines a second number  while eight lines the first number is 22 less than seven lines the second number .find the two numbers

anonymous · Answer

lines=times?

directrix · Answer

Let x = the first number and y = the other number.

4x = 3y + 6

8x = 7y - 22

directrix · Answer

This is a pair of simultaneous equations: two equations in two variables. 

Would you multiply the first equation by (-2) and post the result here? Thanks.

directrix · Answer

-8x = -6y - 12
8x =  7y -22
----------------
0 = y - 34

34 = y  --------->

4x= 3y + 6
4x = 3(34) - 22
4x = 102 + 6
x = 27  ---->
