One number is 12 more than half another number. The two numbers total 60. Find the numbers.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Let the number be x , y\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "One number is 12 more than half another number. \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x = (y/2) + 12
\n" ); document.write( "2x = y + 24
\n" ); document.write( "2x - y = 24 ---------equation 1\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The two numbers total 60.
\n" ); document.write( "x + y = 60 ---------equation 2\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Add eq1 and eq 2
\n" ); document.write( " 2x - y = 24
\n" ); document.write( "+x + y = 60 \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "3x = 84
\n" ); document.write( "x = 84/3 = 28\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Substitute x = 28 in \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x + y = 60
\n" ); document.write( "28 + y = 60
\n" ); document.write( "y = 60 - 28
\n" ); document.write( "y = 32\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x = 28, y =32
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
