Step-by-step explanation: x is larger number y is small number y= (10/100)*x => 0.1*x x-77= y+14 x -77 = 0.1*x +14 x(1-0.1) = 14+77 x*0.9 = 91 x= 101.111 Reply
Step-by-step explanation:
x is larger number
y is small number
y= (10/100)*x => 0.1*x
x-77= y+14
x -77 = 0.1*x +14
x(1-0.1) = 14+77
x*0.9 = 91
x= 101.111
