Answer:

Smaller number: 12

Greater number: 31

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

Let x equal to the smaller number.

Let y be equal to the greater number.

<u>1) Translate the information into equations</u>

"One is 7 more than twice the other"

⇒ y=2x+7

"The sum of the numbers is 43"

⇒ x+y=43

<u>2) Use substitution to solve for the smaller number</u>

x+y=43

Plug the equation y=2x+7 into the above equation

x+(2x+7)=43\\x+2x+7=43\\3x+7=43

Subtract both sides by 7

3x+7-7=43-7\\3x=36

Divide both sides by 3 to isolate x

\frac{3x}{3} = \frac{36}{3} \\x=12

Therefore, the smaller number equates to 12.

<u>3) Use substitution to solve for the greater number</u>

x+y=43

Plug in x as 12

12+y=43

Subtract both sides by 12 to isolate y

12+y-12=43-12\\y=31

Therefore, the greater number equates to 31.

I hope this helps!
