Question

The sum of two numbers is 956. One is 94 less than 6 times the other. write an equation for the first sentence and second. Then solve the system of equations.

Answer 1

Explanation:

suppose the first one is x. so the other one should be 6x-94 (as said).

so : x+6x-94 = 956 . then 7x -94 = 956 . then 7x = 1050 . so x = 1050/7 . then

x = 150
