how can the number 39 be divided into two parts in order that the sum of 2 upon 3 of one part and 3 upon 4 of the other part is 28

The two numbers are 15 and 24

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume the two parts be x and y

So according to the question

x + y = 39

(2 ÷ 3) x + (3 ÷ 4)y = 28

or

8x + 9y = 28 × 12

8x + 9 × (39 - x) = 336

-x = 336 - 351

x = 15

And, y = 39 - 15

= 24

Hence, the x and y is 15 and 24 respectively

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
