Question 219970: this is the exact question
two integers have the property that one is 6 less than 9 times the smaller one. their sum is 64.
i used l as the larger and s as the smaller and this is what i did
l=9s-6
l+9s-6=64
9s-6+s=64
9s-1=64
9s=65
s=7.2 l=58.8
i know i missed something somewhere but i just cant figure it out

this is the exact question
two integers have the property that one is 6 less than 9 times the smaller one. their sum is 64.
i used l as the larger and s as the smaller and this is what i did
l=9s-6
-------------
Now you have to add s and l to get 64
s + 9s-6 = 64
10s = 70
s = 7
----------
l = 9*7-6 = 57
