Question 1005691: A guitar manufacturer spent 114 million on the production of acoustic and electronic guitars in 1999. If the amount of the company spent producing acoustic guitars was 46 million more than it spent on producing electric guitars, how much in fact did the company spend producing electric guitars?

Call the amount spent on acoustics and electrics, a and e.
Thus we have
a + e = 114 and
a = e + 46
we substitute the second into the first and get
e + 46 + e = 114
2e + 46 = 114
2e = 68
e = 34 million
