You can put this solution on YOUR website!
If one number is six more than the other number and their sum is 30,we can say:
\n" ); document.write( "\"x%2B%28x%2B6%29=30\"
\n" ); document.write( "Now solve for x to find the value of one number.
\n" ); document.write( "\"2x%2B6=30\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"2x=30-6\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"2x=24\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"x=24%2F2\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"x=12\" ...this is one number
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "The other number is:
\n" ); document.write( "\"x%2B6=12%2B6=18\"
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "==========================================
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Let pants = x
\n" ); document.write( "Let coats = 3x
\n" ); document.write( "Their sum = 180
\n" ); document.write( "So we can say their equation is:
\n" ); document.write( "\"x%2B3x=180\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"4x=180\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"x=180%2F4\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"x=45\"
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Done! :)
\n" ); document.write( "
