T + H = 828,000
T = H + 18,000
Substitute the known value of T.
(H+18k) +H = 828k
2H + 18k = 828k
2H = 810k
H = 405,000
Since we know H is 405k, then T is 18k more than that, or 423k
405,000 + 423,000 = 828,000

The Camry sales+Accord sale=828,000. To make it so the two numbers are 18 thousand apart and still equal 828,000, you first need to find out what half of 828,000 is. 828,000/2=414,000. For the two numbers to equal 828,000, you have to add the same amount as you subtract from the middle. In this case, the number is 9,000 because it's half of 18,000. To equal 828,000, you have to add 9,000 to 414,000 for the Camry and subtract 9,000 from 414,000 for the Accord. 414,000+9,000=423,000.
414,000-9,000=405,000.
423,000+405,000=828,000.
423,000-405,000=18,000
