The sum of two numbers is 67. The larger number is 4 more than 2 times the smaller. What are the two numbers?

X,y - two numbers (x > y)

(1) x + y = 67 ⇒ x = 67 - y
(2) x - 4 = 2y

subtitute (1) to (2)

67 - y - 4 = 2y
63 - y = 2y |add y to both sides
63 = 3y |divide both sides by 3
y = 21

subtitute the value of y to (1)

x = 67 - 21 = 46

Answer: 21 and 46.

$S_A=\frac{1}{2}LP+B\\\\\frac{1}{2}LP+B=S_A\ \ \ \ \ \ |subrtact\ "B"\ from\ both\ sides\\\\\frac{1}{2}LP=S_A-B\ \ \ \ \ |multiply\ both\ sides\ by\ 2\\\\LP=2S_A-2B\ \ \ \ \ \ |divide\ both\ sides\ by\ "L"\\\\P=\frac{2S_A-2B}{L}$

Hey there! :)

There are 5 numbers.

Even numbers end with 2, 4, 6, 8, or 0

All of the numbers end in 0

That means all the numbers are even

Your answer is: 5/5 = 1

Hope this helps :)
