Question 923513: Please help me solve
Separate 84 into two parts such that one part will be 20 less than 3 times the other. Find the numbers.
Thank you Answer by TimothyLamb(4379) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! x + y = 84
x = 3y - 20
---
put the system of linear equations into standard form
---
x + y = 84
x - 3y = -20
---
copy and paste the above standard form linear equations in to this solver:

answer:
x = 58
y = 26
---
now by solve substitution:
---
x + y = 84
x = 3y - 20
---
3y - 20 + y = 84
4y = 104
y = 104/4
---
answer:
y = 26
x = 58
