2 even numbers....x and x + 2
x + x + 2 = 234
2x + 2 = 234
2x = 234 - 2
2x = 232
x = 232/2
x = 116 <===
x + 2 = 116 + 2 = 118 <==
Y = 3x - 1 ---- (1)
x - y = -9 ---- (2)
From Equation 2:
x - y = - 9
x + 9 = y
y = x + 9 --- (2a)
(1) - (2a):
0 = 3x - x - 1 - 9
0 = 2x - 10
2x - 10 = 0
2x = 10
x = 5 ---- sub into (1)
y = 3(5) - 1
y = 15 - 1
y = 14
With
explanation; i gotcha
