Question

The sum of two numbers is 62 . the larger number is 22 more than the smaller number. what are the numbers?

Answer 1

The larger number is 42 and the smaller is 20

Answer 2

Let the smaller number be x. 

larger number: 22+x 

x+(x+22)=62 
2x+22=62 
2x=62-22
2x=40 
x=40/2 
x=20 

The smaller number is 20 and the bigger number is 22+20= 42
