22 plus 28=50 Let the first number be represented by x The problem states that the difference(-) between the first and second number is 6, meaning that the second number minus 6. The second number is x-6 Take both numbers and set equal to 50 x + x - 6= 50 Combine like terms 2x - 6= 50 Add six to both side to get your unknown by itself 2x= 56 Divide both by 2 x=28 This is the 1st number x-6=22 This is the 2nd number
