one number is 7 more than the second number.Three times the first is 8 less than 4 times the second.Find the numbers
\n" ); document.write( "Equations:
\n" ); document.write( "x = y + 7
\n" ); document.write( "3x= 4y-8
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "Substitute for \"x\" to solve for \"y\":
\n" ); document.write( "3(y+7) = 4y-8
\n" ); document.write( "3y + 12 = 4y-8
\n" ); document.write( "y = 20
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "Solve for \"x\":
\n" ); document.write( "x = y+7
\n" ); document.write( "x = 20+7 = 27
