You can put this solution on YOUR website! Difference between 2 digits is 8 one third of the smaller number and one forth of the largest number is 44. what are the 2 numbers?
----------------------
Equations:
x - y = 8
(1/3)y +(1/4)x = 44
--------------------------
Modify::
4x - 4y = 32
3x + 4y = 528
----------------
Add and solve for "x":
7x = 560
x = 80 (larger number)
y = 80-8 = 72 (smaller number)
