Question

The sum of two numbers is 14 one number is two less than three times the other. find the numbers​

Answer 1

Answer:

The numbers are $10$  and  $4$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x-----> one number

y----> the other number

we know that

$x+y=14$ ------> equation A

$x=3y-2$ -----> equation B

Substitute equation B in equation A and solve for y

$3y-2+y=14$

$4y=14+2$

$y=16/4=4$

Find the value of x

$x=3(4)-2=10$
