You can put this solution on YOUR website! one number is 7 more than the second number.Three times the first is 8 less than 4 times the second.Find the numbers
Equations:
x = y + 7
3x= 4y-8
-----
Substitute for "x" to solve for "y":
3(y+7) = 4y-8
3y + 12 = 4y-8
y = 20
-----
Solve for "x":
x = y+7
x = 20+7 = 27
