Question 350985
two integers have the property that one is 6 less than 9 times the smaller one. their sum is 64.What are the two integers
--------------
Equations:
x + y = 64
y = 9x-6
-------------------
Substitute for "y" and solve for "x":
x+(9x-6) = 64
10x = 70
x = 7
---------
Since x+y = 64, y = 64-7 = 57
