This problem can be solved by substituting (x) for the unknown number and (x + 28) as the number that is 28 more than the unknown number. Set up and solve the problem: x + (x + 28) = 156 (then simplify): 2x + 28 = 156 (subtract 28 from both sides of the equation to isolate the known numbers from the unknown): 2x = 128 (divide both sides by 2 to find the value of x) x (the unkown number) = 64 (now use the value of x to prove the answer) 64 + (64 + 28) = 64 + 92 = 156

Why is 21.1 greater than 20?

A number is greater than another number if it is more positive than the second number. 21.1 is more positive than 20. If you want to think of it in terms of the number line: If you write the number line horizontally with negative numbers to the left, zero in the middle and positive numbers to the right a number is greater than another if it is to the right (on the number line) than the second. 21.1 is to the right of 20, so 21.1 is greater than 20.

How do you find the LCM of 2 numbers if one number is prime?

If the second number is a multiple of the prime number, than the LCM is the second number. If the second number is not a multiple of the prime number, then the two numbers are relatively prime, and the LCM is the product of the two numbers.


What are two mathods of comparing numbers?

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.


Why is there more composite numbers than prime numbers?
