Algebra.Com's Answer #420395 by jpvn2015(54)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! First, let's find A and B. It is obvious, once you understand the problem, that A is 57 and B is 21. \n" ); document.write( "57 and 21 meet the criteria: 57+21=78 57-21=36 \n" ); document.write( "Now that we've figured out the numbers, it is time to divide them: 57/21 \n" ); document.write( "That reduces to 19/7. \n" ); document.write( "So, your answer is 19/7, or 2.714... \r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Here's how I found out the answer: \n" ); document.write( "First, let's find the difference. 78-36 is 42. Half of 42 is 21. Thus, the smaller number is 21. Then, it's substitution from there. \n" ); document.write( " |
