Separate 178 into two parts so that the first part is 8 less than twice the second part.

KnowledgeBoat · Accepted Answer

Let the first part be x. So the other part is 178 - x. ⇒ x = 2(178 - x) - 8 ⇒ x = 356 - 2x - 8 ⇒ x = 348 - 2x ⇒ x + 2x = 348 ⇒ 3x = 348 ⇒ x = ⇒ x = 116 Other number = 178 - x = 178 - 116 = 62 Hence, the two numbers be 116 and 62.
