Problema Solution
The sum of two numbers is 956. One number is 94 less than 6 times the other. Find the numbers.
Answer provided by our tutors
You have 2 unknown numbers relative to each other so we'll address as x
956 = x + (6x -94)
Simplify
956 = 7x - 94
1050 = 7x
x = 150
And plug back in
(6x -94)
900 - 94
806 and 150 ###
