Question

The sum of two numbers is 19. Three times the larger is 3 more than 6 times the smaller. Find the numbers.

Answer 1

Answer:

x=6

y=13

Step-by-step explanation:

The statement says that:

$3x=6y+3$

Been y the smaller and x the larger. The other equation that we have is the summation of the two numbers. Then we have 2 equations and 2  unknowns

$1. 3x=6y+3\\2. x+y=19$

Solving the equations the answers is x=13 and y=6.
