Question

The larger of the two numbers is 4 more than twice the smaller. The difference of the larger number and the smaller number is 6. Find the numbers.

Answer 1

Answer:

2 and 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Larger number = y

Smaller number = x

---------------------------------

y = 2x+4

y - x = 6 ->  y= x+6

---------------------------------------

x + 6 = 2x + 4

2 = x

y = x+ 6

y = 2 + 6

y = 8

Hope this makes sense!!!!
