Answer:

35.34 and 16.66

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

let the numbers be x and y

the smaller number = x

the larger number = y

x+y=52--------1

<em>The larger number is 2 less than twice the smaller number</em>

y=2x-2-------2

put y= 2x-2 in eqn 1

x+2x-2=52

3x-2=52

3x=52-2

3x=50

x= 50/3

x= 16.66

put x=16.66 in eqn 1 to find y

x+y=52

16.66+y= 52

y=52-16.66

y= 35.34

Hence the numbers are

35.34 and 16.66

Check

35.34+16.66= 52
