Question

Separate 60 into two parts so that 3 times the smaller added to 6 more than 6 times the smaller = 60.

help?

Answer 1

let one part be x
then other part = 60-x
ok?
then verify next part of your question....is it smaller at both place?

Answer 2

I still don't understand..

Answer 3

3 times the smaller would be 3x

6 more than 6 times the smaller is 6x + 6

it says the sum of that is 60

so 3x + 6x + 6 = 60

combine like terms

9x + 6 = 60

subtract 6 from both sides

9x = 54

do you know what to do next now?

Answer 4

Divide 54 by 9 which would be 6.. Am I right ?
