Question

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

Answer 1

Answer:

First part = 116

Second part = 62

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the second part be x

and the first part be 2x-8

Now, According to the question,

x+2x-8=178

3x-8 = 178

3x = 178+8

3x = 186

x = 186/3

x = 62

Hence,First part = 2x – 8 = (2 x 62) – 8 = 124 – 8 = 116

First part = 116

and Second part = 62
