Question 183547: One number is 6 more than another number. If you add 9 to 6 times the first number, the result is 7 times he second number. Answer by checkley77(12844) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let x & x+6 be the 2 numbers.
(6x+9)=7(x+5)
6x+9=7x+35
6x-7x=35-9
-x=26
x=-26 ans
Proof:
(6*-26+9)=7(-26+5)
-156+9=7*-21
-147=-147
