Answer:
Larger number = 4
Explanation:
As the two digits are consecutive,
Let 1st digit = x (smaller)
2nd digit = x + 1 (larger)
According to given condition:
Twice the larger = five more than smaller
2 (x + 1) = x + 5
Simplifying:
2x + 2 = x + 5
Taking x term to left side and others to right side
2x - x = 5 -2 (signs of transferred terms will be changed)
x = 3
So by putting values:
1st digit = 3 (smaller)
2nd digit = 3 + 1 = 4 (larger)
I hope it will help you!
