Question

The sum of two numbers is 63 . the larger number is 11 more than the smaller number. what are the numbers?

Answer 1

Answer:

The numbers are 21 and 42.

I've written everything needed.

Answer 2

Let x equal the larger number
Let y equal the smaller number
x+y=63
x=y+11
Sub the second equation into the first equation and solve for y
y+11+y=63
2y+11=63
2y=63-11
2y=52
y=52/2
y=26
Sub y into the second equation
x=y+11
x=26+11
x=37
Hope this helps!
