Algebra.Com's Answer #479792 by ankor@dixie-net.com(22740) You can put this solution on YOUR website! Two numbers, a & b, write an equation for each statement: \n" ); document.write( ": \n" ); document.write( "one number is 8 more than another number. \n" ); document.write( " a = b + 8 \n" ); document.write( ": \n" ); document.write( " If the larger is divided by the smaller, the quotient is 2 and the remainder is 1. \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "Replace a with (b+8), from the 1st equation \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "multiply both sides by b \n" ); document.write( "b + 7 = 2b \n" ); document.write( "7 = 2b - b \n" ); document.write( "b = 7 \n" ); document.write( "then \n" ); document.write( "a = 7 + 8 \n" ); document.write( "a = 15 \n" ); document.write( ": \n" ); document.write( "You can confirm this in the 2nd statemet \n" ); document.write( "///////////////////////////////////////////////// \n" ); document.write( "Solution put into words \n" ); document.write( "When 15 is divided by 7, the quotient is 2, the remainder is 1 \n" ); document.write( " |
