The second of 2 numbers is 5 more than twice the first. Their sum is 29. Find the numbers. (With steps)

1 answer:

8 0

So the equation is x + 2x + 5= 29
Here are the steps            -5    -5
                               -----------------------
                                        3x   = 24
      Divide both sides by 3 so you get
                                          x = 8
Then look back at the question, the second number has to be twice that number plus 5
                 So the 1st number is 8 The second # is 2(8)+5= 21
