Question

One number is 5 more than the other. Their sum is 33. Find the numbers.

Answer 1

Answer:

19,14

Step-by-step explanation:

x=5+y

x+ y= 33

we will solve using substitution

(5+y) +y= 33

5+y+y=33

5+2y=33

subtract 5 from both sides

2y=28

y=14

We got y now we will find what x is

for this, we will substitute y's value (14) into the first equation

x=5+(14)

x=19

we got x too
