Algebra 101

One of the classes that I have right now is Algebra. I have to say that it is going pretty good so far but I was thinking...how many actually remember how to do Algebra? For the rest of my math class, I am going to challenge all of you to a math problem every week. Don't forget to show your work!! HAHA!

Here is this week's problem...

One number is 3 less than another. If 10 times the smaller number minus 4 times the larger number is 24, find the two numbers.

Good luck!!

Ouch, my brain hurts! Maybe you should call Rog for help. Good luck with Algebra!

OK--It has been like 13 years since of done anything resembling Algebra, but here is my guess--the two numbers are 6 and 9.
