Question

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

Answer 1

Let the second part be a

First part = 2a - 8


a + 2a - 8 = 178

=> 3a = 186

=> a = 62

First part = 62

Second part = 116

Let the second part be a

First part = 2a - 8

a + 2a - 8 = 178

=> 3a = 186

First part = 62

Second part = 116
