Answer 1

Let the smaller number be x

So, greater number = 7 more than twice the smaller number

So, greater number = 7 + 2x

Sum of the two numbers = 43

So, 43 = greater number + smaller number

43 = 2x + 7 + x

43 = 3x + 7

Subtract 7 on both sides

43 - 7 = 3x + 7 - 7

36 = 3x

$\frac{36}{3}=\frac{3x}{3}$

12 = x

Smaller number = 12

Greater number = 2x + 7 = 2(12) + 7 = 31

Answer 2

31 and 12 are the two numbers,
2(x) + 7
x = 12
this might not be right but I think it is x
