Question

the sum of two numbers is 57. if the larger of the two numbers is 9 less than twice the smaller, find the two numbers

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is 35 and 22

Because:

U let the numbers(#) be x and y (x will be the larger number and y the smaller number

So:

x + y =57

x = 2*y - 9

Therefore,

{2*y - 9} + y = 57

Leaving the two numbers 35 and 22
