    Solved in my head at the thumbnail, the two numbers are 77 and 111/
    Let's choose x as the lower number, and thus x + 34 as the higher.
    0) x + x + 34 = 188 -- Start
    1) 2x + 34 = 188 -- combine terms
    2) 2x = 188 - 34 -- subtract 34 from both sides
    2.1) 2x = 154 -- finish the subtraction
    3) x = 77 -- divide both sides by 2. The smaller number is 77.
    4) 77 + 34 = 111 -- Add the difference to get the larger number.

      10 secs in my head, 1/2 188 is 94. Add 1/2 of 34, 17 to 94=111 subtract 17 from other 94 =77. Simple, forgot to use x, my 8 yo grandson understands this logic without using algebraic symbols.

  • @Hi-rw8vr
    @Hi-rw8vr 29 дней назад +18

    Divide by 2, then subtract and add half of 34. 188/2=94
    94+17=111
    94-17=77
    Doesn’t require an 18 minute explanation.

      I keep getting back to my gripe with this channel. If this is given for 10th grade, it is a 2 minute problem, or less. In 7th grade, I think this deserves more time. 6th grade and below, I think this is at the edge of understanding for many kids, so no issue spending an hour if needed. Another gripe, hope I am not trolling, I would not use x and y as variables, because it somehow implies a coordinate system, at least in my mind, which has no meaning for this specific problem, until you get more variables than equations and the result is actually a function.

  • @gavindeane3670
    @gavindeane3670 29 дней назад +15

    If they were both the size of the little number then the sum would be 188 - 34 = 154.
    So the little number is half of 154 and the big number is 34 more than that.
    77 and 111.

  • @tomobrien2366
    @tomobrien2366 28 дней назад +2

    Just divide the large number by 2 giving 94. Divide the small number by 2 giving 17. Then add 17 to 94 giving 111 an subtract 17 from 94 giving 77.

  • @jerryregier2725
    @jerryregier2725 23 дня назад +1

    A much simpler approach:
    X + (X + 34) = 188
    2X + 34 = 188
    2X = 188-34
    2X = 154
    X = 77 ie. the smaller number; add 34 for the larger number 111
    77 + 111 = 188

  • @MrMousley
    @MrMousley 28 дней назад +3

    Let's NOT call the numbers A and B and go down the A + B = 188 and A - B = 34 route
    Let's just call the numbers N and N + 34 and say N + N + 34 = 188
    Giving us 2N = 188 - 34 2N = 154
    N = 77 and the other number is N + 34 = 111

  • @volleyballDave
    @volleyballDave 28 дней назад +1

    188 / 2 -17 (half the difference) = 77 the lower number. Add + 34 = 111 gives you the higher number. 77 + 111 = 188

  • @superaijaz
    @superaijaz 29 дней назад +1

    Here is how I solved
    x+ y = 188 and x-y = 34
    x = 188-y and x = 34+ y
    It means 188-y = 34+y
    So 188-34 = y+y
    154= 2y
    Y= 154/2
    Y= 77
    So x= 188-77
    x= 111
    X= 111 and Y = 77

  • @panlomito
    @panlomito 29 дней назад +3

    Nice... algebra puzzle !
    a + b = 188 and
    a - b = 34 or a = 34 + b (note that a is the bigger number and b the smaller)
    so
    (34 + b) + b = 188 -> 2b = 154 -> b = 77 and a = 34 + 77 = 111

  • @glenb.9811
    @glenb.9811 28 дней назад +1

    There is 34 difference between the two numbers. To make the numbers equal, you have to subtract 34 from one of them, which means you subtract 34 from the sum. 154 is the sum of the two equal numbers, so each is 77. Add 34 to get the actual higher number (111) and you're done.
    Or, algebra. I couldn't watch 18 minutes of a sum that took 10 seconds, so I assume he did:
    x-y=34
    y=x+34
    x+y=188
    x+(x+34)=188
    2x=188-34
    x=77
    y=77+34=111

  • @gerontodon
    @gerontodon 29 дней назад

    X + Y = 188
    X - Y = 34
    Subtract second equation from 1st
    2Y = 154
    Divide by 2 to get
    Y = 77
    Subtract from 188 to get
    X = 111

  • @acool6401
    @acool6401 28 дней назад

    Just assume X is larger than Y (since there is a difference of 34 between them)
    Then Y + 34 = X
    It all falls in place after that since….
    X + Y = 188 can now be written with a substitute for X as:
    (Y + 34) + Y = 188
    2Y + 34 = 188
    2Y = 154
    Y = 77 therefore X must be 111

    i made 2 equations from the given information. 1. a+b=188 2. a-b=34 . i then took equation 2 and solved for a , giving me a=34+b . i then took this equation and substituted it in place of the letter a in equation 1. giving 34+b+b=188, which reduces to , 34+2b=188, 2b=188-34, 2b=154, b=77.

  • @michaelpowchong3835
    @michaelpowchong3835 28 дней назад

    One number is x and second number is (x+34) so x+(x+34)=188Then 2x=188-34=154Now x=77

  • @johnnyragadoo2414
    @johnnyragadoo2414 29 дней назад +1

    a+b=188, a-b=34. That means a+b+a-b=188+34 or 2a=222. From that, a=111 and b=77.
    Here's another way. If a=b and a+b=188, then a=b=94. A has to be half of 34 more than 94 and b has to be half of 34 less than 94. That's because whatever is subtracted from one has to be added to the other to keep the sum the same.
    So a=94+17 or 111 and b=94-17 or 77.

    Didn’t watch yet. I see 2 numbers, call them an and b, and 2 equations. a+b=188 and a-b=34. So, a=34+b. Insert into the first equation: (34+b)+b = 188. Now, 34+2b=188. 188-34=154.divide by 2=77. Insert b=77 into the second equation. a-77=34. a=111. This could have been done the other way around as well and it better get the same result. If not go back to the start and check your math🤓watched now and see why x and y were used. Would have avoided going into coordinate systems. No needed. Unless, I am thinking 7th grade ish, as an introduction to linear math and coordinate systems?
