Two numbers have a sum of 124
Write in algebraic expression

Step-by-step explanation:

Let one number = x

Let the other number = y

x + y = 124

You can't go any further than that without more information.

The good news is that no number is excluded.

x = 248

y = -124 for example

b.an increase in a causes b to decrease

x=17

step-by-step explanation:

solve 3x-24=x+10

then that makes it 2x=34 because you subtract an x from both sides to get rid of the one on the right, and then you add 24 to both sides to get rid of the 24 on the left

divide by both sides by 2 to get your answer so that you can get your answer
