Question

The sum of two numbers is 19. Three times the larger is 3 more than 6 times the smaller. Find the numbers.

Answer 1

x=6

y=13

Explanation:

The statement says that:

`3x=6y+3\\`

Been y the smaller and x the larger. The other equation that we have is the summation of the two numbers. Then we have 2 equations and 2 unknowns

`1. 3x=6y+3\\2. x+y=19\\`

Solving the equations the answers is x=13 and y=6.
