Answer:

One number is 4.2, the other is 18.8

Step-by-step explanation:

1.)  x+y=23

    (x+6y)x2=4

2.) (x+6y)x2=4   =   2x+12y=4

3.)Use elimination/substitution to solve

     2x+12y=4  =   x+6y=2  =  x=2-6y

     2-6y+y=23

4.)Solve for y

     2-5y=23 -> -5y=21 -> y=4.2.

5.)Solve for x

    x+4.2=23

    x=18.8

One number is 2 more than 3 times another. Their sum is 22. Find the numbers. 8, 14 5, 17 2, 20 4, 18 10, 12
xxTIMURxx [149]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  (b)  5, 17

Step-by-step explanation:

You can try the answer choices easily enough.

  2 +3×8 ≠ 14

  2 +3×5 = 17 . . . . this choice works (5, 17)

  2 +3×2 ≠ 20

  2 +3×4 ≠ 18

  2 +3×10 ≠ 12

__

Or, you can solve the equation:

  x + (2 +3x) = 22

  4x = 20 . . . . . . . . subtract 2

  x = 5 . . . . . . . . . . divide by 4

The numbers are 5 and (22 -5) = 17.
