One number is 6 more than another number and their sum is 2.
How would i make that an equation thought.
for example if the question was,
Jane spent $42.00 for shoes. This was $14 less than twice what she spent for a blouse. How much was the blouse?
the equation would be,
42= 14 + 2x
what would the equation be for
One number is 6 more than another number and their sum is 2.
Your question has been anwered twice, once each by two different people.
Ok your equations are...
x=6+y
x+y=2
So making a verbal statement of this you could say...
Bob went to the Quickie Mart to buy a hot dog. He has a coupon for a discount on the hot dog. The regular price for the hot dog is $6. If the sum of the price with the discount and the discount (negative) is $2, then what is the price withe the discount and what is the discount (as a negative number)?
How do I figure: 2.3 is 33 percent of what number?
