When we first learn arithmetic, we focus on working with whole numbers. Then, we extend our understanding to fractions and negative numbers. In algebra, we transfer these same skills to expressions involving variables. What elementary skills have you used so far in this course, and how have you extended them?

let x and 400 - x be the two numbers.  

==> 0.80x + 0.85(400 - x) = 400 - 68 from the statement of the problem.  

< ==> 0.80x + 0.85(400 - x) = 400 - 68  

==> 340 - 0.05x = 332  

< ==> -0.05x = -8 ==> x = 160, the first number ==> 400 - x = 240, the second number.
