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

first number = x

second number = y

x = y + 3

4x = 6y - 6

substitute y+3 for x in second equation:

4(y+3) = 6y - 6

4y + 12 = 6y - 6

2y = 18

y = 9

x = 12
