two numbers add to 336 and the first is 124 bigger than the second. What are the two Numbers?
let us say, the numbers are "a" and "b"
so their sum is 336, or
a + b = 336
and the first one is bigger than the second by 124
so... whatever "b" is, "a" is THAT plus 124, or
a = b + 124
thus one can say
a + b = 336
or
(b + 124) +b = 33
solve for "b"
what is "a"? well, a = b + 124
The numbers are 230 and 106.
Algebra is a branch of mathematics dealing with symbols and the rules for manipulating those symbols.
let us consider the numbers be x and y.
so
x + y = 336..................(1)
First number = second number +124
x=y+124
x-y=124...............................(2)
Add (1) and (2), we get
2x= 460
x= 230
and,
y= 336-230
y= 106
Hence, the numbers are 230 and 106.
