You can put this solution on YOUR website!
N is 16 less than 2K
\n" ); document.write( "K is 2 more than N
\n" ); document.write( "n=2k-16
\n" ); document.write( "k=n+2
\n" ); document.write( "Since we already know what k= lets substitute that in the other equation;
\n" ); document.write( "n=2(n+2)-16
\n" ); document.write( "n=2n+4-16
\n" ); document.write( "n=2n-12
\n" ); document.write( "-n=-12
\n" ); document.write( "n=12
\n" ); document.write( "Now we have what n=, so we can but that in the equation and solve for k;
\n" ); document.write( "12=2k-16
\n" ); document.write( "12+16=2k
\n" ); document.write( "28=2k
\n" ); document.write( "14=k
\n" ); document.write( "Hope you understand
\n" ); document.write( "=)
\n" ); document.write( "
