Multiply the top equation by 2 and combine both equations to leave x alone. It is better if you do this vertically but it is hard here.

(6x-2y=20)+(4x+2y=40)

10x=60

x=6

Plug x back in to one of the equations.

3(6)-y=10

18-y=10

-y=-8

y=8

Your solution is (6,8)

S_A_V [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the two whole numbers be 5x and 2x then

by the question

5x - 2x = 33

3x = 33

x = 33/3

x = 11

Therefore the numbers are

5x = 5*11 = 55
2x = 2*11 = 22
