What number is three more than a second number. Four times The first is six less than six times the second. Find the value of the first number and the value of the second number

Answer 1

It seems we have two numbers, lets call the first number x and the second number y.

The first sentence asks for a number that 3 more than a second.

This can be written as x = y+3

The second sentence says 4 times the first number IS six less than six times the second number.

This can be written as 4x = 6y - 6

Now you have a systems of equations that you can solve for using the substitution method.

Best of luck with Math, if you have further questions please be sure to send them.

Answer 2

x=3+y

4x=6y-6

4(3+y)=6y-6

12+4y=6y-6

18=2y

y=9

x=12
