Answer:

The larger number is 69 and the smaller number is 35.

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the equations. Here x will be the larger number and y will be the smaller number.

x + y = 104

x = 2y -1

Substitute:

(2y -1) + y = 104

3y = 105

y = 35

x = 2(35) - 1

x = 70 - 1

x = 69

The larger number is 69 and the smaller number is 35.
