Two numbers differ by 18. If 2/7 of the larger is 6 more than 1/4 of the smaller, find the two numbers

Step-by-step explanation:

1) x-y=18

2) 2x/7-y/4=6

from 1) x=18+y      substituting in 2)

2(18+y)/7-y/4=6

36/7+y(2/7-1/4)=6

y=(6-36/7)/(2/7-1/4)

y=(6/7)/(1/28)

y=24

x=18+y=18+24

x=42

it's

75

step-by-step explanation:

you do x-29=46 (the number of cantaloupes sold)

in order to find x, you have to find what minus 29 equals 46, meaning you'd have to add 29 to 46.

29+46=75

if you replace x with 75, the equation looks like:

75-29=46

x=75
