Well, isn't that just a happy little math problem? If the first number is 14 less than the second, we can call the second number x and the first number x - 14. When we add them together, we get x + (x - 14) = 300. Happy solving, my friend!

Suppose the first number is x Then the second is 3x - 8 Their sum is x + 3x - 8 = 4x - 8 = 56 So 4x = 64 and so x = 16 Then the second number is 3x - 8 = 40 The numbers are 16 and 40.
This question has no answer, probably because of a typo. If you change 52 to 32, there will be exactly one solution.
One option for comparing two numbers is to subtract the first number from the second number. If the result is less than zero, the first number is larger. If the result is greater than zero, the second number is larger. If the result is zero, the numbers are equal. Another option (for positive numbers) would be to divide the first number by the second number. If the result is greater than one, the first number is larger. If the result is less than one, the second number is larger. If the result is one, the numbers are equal. This rule flips if you are comparing negative numbers.
the sum of three numbers is 64. the second number is 3 less than the first number, the third number is 11 less than twice the first. what are the three numbers?

Yes, you can but you need to "rename" the whole part of the first mixed number.
Look at the numbers starting with the first, then the second. They are the same 98. Look at the third numbers, they are the same 9. Then the fourth number, the first number has 9 and the second has an 8. So the first number is the greater. You can also subtract them and if you need to get a positive number, the top number is greater.
Suppose the first number is x Then the second is 3x - 8 Their sum is x + 3x - 8 = 4x - 8 = 56 So 4x = 64 and so x = 16 Then the second number is 3x - 8 = 40 The numbers are 16 and 40.
Assuming the two numbers are positive integers, the two numbers must be 10 and 7: 10 + 7 = 17 10 - 7 = 3
Let x represent the first number; 2x - 3 then represents the second number. x + 2x - 3 = 75 3x = 78 x = 26 2x - 3 = 49 So the numbers are 26 and 49.
