The sum of two numbers is 100. One number is four more than three time the other number. What are the last numbers?

3 answers

x = first number
3x + 4 = second number

Therefore:
x + 3x + 4 = 100

Solve for x.
Don't forget to list both numbers!
x + 3x + 4 = 100

4x = 96

x = ?
by transferring 4 to other side
x=96/4
x=24
