Opposite Numbers and their Sums:
1+6=7
2+7=9
3+8=11
4+9=13
5+10=15
Because of this, the pair of opposite numbers are 3 and 8 if you want the pair that equal 11.
Write two equations with the given information:
1) x = 2y ( x is twice the value of y)
2) x + y = 42
Replace x in the second equation with the value of x in the first equation:
2y + y = 42
Simplify:
3y = 42
Divide both sides by 3:
y = 42 / 3
y = 14
Now we have the value for Y, solve for x by replacing y with 14:
x = 2y
x = 2(14)
x = 28
X = 28 and y = 14
