Question

separate 178 into two parts so that the first part is 8 less than twice the second part. pls answer as soon as possible​

Answer 1

Answer:

116 and 62

Step-by-step explanation:

178 = a+b---------(1)

a+8 = 2b

or, a - 2b = - 8-------(2)

now substracting (2) from (1) we get,

a+b - a + 2b= 178 + 8

or,. 3b = 186

or,. b= 62

and,,,. a= 178 - 62 = 116
