Question

one number is 10 more than another. the sum of twice the smaller plus three times the larger is 55. what are the two numbers

Answer 1

The two numbers are 15 and 5. Here's why:

15 - 5 = 10

15 x 3= 45

5 x 2 = 10

45 + 10= 55


I hope this helps:)

Answer 2

First number = x
Second number = x + 10

2x + 3(x + 10) = 55
5x = 55 - 30
x = 25 ÷ 5
x = 5

First number = x = 5
Second number = x + 10 = 15
