Question 110165: I am stuck on this problem. I have to simplify this equation problem.
3(x-5)/4=6(x+8)/2
This is what I have so far and I don't think it is right.

Question 110684: The problem: Find two numbers whose sum is 44 and whose difference is 22
I already know the answer - I had no problem figuring it out. What I need to see is the proper way to solve it. I got the answers 33 and 11. This is how I started it:
x + y = 44
x - y = 22
x = 22 + y and x = 44 - y .....what next? I plugged numbers in until I found the answer but there must be an easier way?
