Question

The sum of to numbers is 15 and their quotient is 2.
PLEASE HELP MEEE

Answer 1

The two numbers are 5 and 10.

Explanation:

We need to solve the following system of equations:

We know that:

A + B = 15

A/B = 2

Solving the system of equations we have:

A/B = 2 ⇒ A = 2B

Then:

2B + B = 15 ⇒ 3B = 15 ⇒ B = 5

Then, we need to find A:

A = 10

Answer 2

The two numbers are 5 and 10

Explanation:

Let x be one number and y be the other number

Their sum is 15

x+y = 15

The quotient is 2

x/y =2

Rewriting this equation by multiplying by y

x/y * y = 2*y

x = 2y

Substitute this into the first equation

2y+ y = 15

Combine like terms

3y = 15

Divide by 3 on each side

3y/3 =15/3

y=5

Now we can find x

x = 2y

x =2(5)

x=10
