The analysis and forming equations from the description:

x%2By=184 ------- 184 is cut into two parts.

%281%2F3%29x-%281%2F7%29y=8 ----------fraction of one part minus fraction of other part be 8.

Both of those are linear equations. You say you want "ANSWER IN LINEAR EQUATION", so this is the SYSTEM of linear equations:
system%28x%2By=184%2C%281%2F3%29x-%281%2F7%29y=8%29.


In solving this system, you have your choice of three different methods, which are Substituion, Graphing, or Elimination. Use what you know or are told to use.
