do I just have to find the sum?
Let the numbers be x and y; x being the larger number and y being the smaller.
Given,
x + y = 2* (x - y)
x + y = 2x - 2y
x = 3y
Also given,
x = 6 + 2y
3y = 6 + 2y
--- y = 6
Thus, x = 3y = 3*6 = 18.
Therefore, the numbers are 18 and 6.

Answer: 23
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
x = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
√(2x − 1) + 2 = x
√(2x − 1) = x − 2
2x − 1 = (x − 2)²
2x − 1 = x² − 4x + 4
0 = x² − 6x + 5
0 = (x − 1) (x − 5)
x = 1 or 5
Check for extraneous solutions.
√(2(1) − 1) + 2 = 1
√(1) + 2 = 1
3 = 1
No solution
√(2(5) − 1) + 2 = 5
√(9) + 2 = 5
5 = 5
x = 5
