Question

Help me please, the answer choices are on the pic

Answer 1

I believe the answer is 104.

Explanation:

Because 186 - 104 = 82 and 104 - 22 = 82.

Answer 2

104

Explanation:

Let's say that the numbers are x and y. So, we know that....

x+y=186

y-x=22

Now we can use the substitution method to find the numbers. y-x=22 turns into y=22+x. And now we can substitute to the second equation into the first equation.

x+22+x=186

2x=164

x=82

y=22+82

y=104

Our numbers are 82 and 104 and the larger integer is 104, so that's the answer.
