Question

3. Separate -68 into two parts such that twice the first is 6 less than thrice the second part.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let the second part be x

First part is 2x−8.

Therefore from question, we have

Sum of two parts is 178

Therefore, x+2x−8=178

⇒3x=178+8

⇒3x=186

⇒x=62

First part is 2x−8=2(62)−8=124−8=116

Therefore, the first and second parts are 116 and 62.

Step-by-step explanation:

write write -68 in place of 178
